Job insists we share pronouns

OP was not saying they do not know what to call themselves, they were saying they do not want to have to state their pronouns. You set up a straw man by twisting their concern into something it never was.

Sharing pronouns is ridiculous and performative.

It insults the intelligence of everyone around you and forces everyone else to play along with nonsense.

Because it is a ridiculous practice

You assume the conclusion inside the question, that sharing pronouns is necessarily comfortable and simple for everyone. By asking How can you not feel comfortable, you dismiss the stated discomfort instead of addressing it. You are begging the question (circular reasoning). You presume what it should be proving, that sharing pronouns is comfortable and easy.

You also lean on a false assumption fallacy: just because something is “simple” for one person doesn’t mean it is universally simple or comfortable for all.

I would say that some people need to encounter real issues in life to get perspective on how silly the enforced pronoun drama is.

I don't understand. If you don't like the "new" pronouns, you can just reference the traditional ones.

Kids are honest and have eyes.

The pronoun fols are the ones complicating things for children.

Yeah, if being asked to put he/him after your email block is really one of the most difficult or uncomfortable things going on in your life, then I wish I had your life.

Sharing your pronouns is asking, what would you like me to call you. It’s not asking you bear your innermost secrets.

Years ago, I worked with a woman that I knew as Beth. I was introduced to her as Beth. Everyone called her Beth. It turned out that she preferred Libby. She’d always gone by Libby. When she started at my school, there was a Lizzie and some jerk said we’ll called you Beth to avoid confusion. She never said a word until she transferred to another school. There was no reason to not tell us she preferred Libby and not Beth.

I want to call people the pronouns they prefer to use in the space we’re in at the time. If you use he/him at the preschool and they/their elsewhere, no one is asking you to put the pronouns you use socially in your work setting.

What complication? The kids aren’t struggling with it at all. They quickly learn all the stuff adults claim to be struggling with. For example, pronouncing non-Anglo-Saxon names.

It’s because their brains are so plastic, but also they aren’t bigots yet.

I do it as its a requirement as well where I work but I don't like it. I don't feel the most important characteristic about me is that I am a woman and I don't like needing to put my gender identity front and center and have it be the qualifier of everything I do. I feel like women fought for equality for years and now we are back to needing to make sure everyone knows well she is a woman when I am doing my job. I would feel the same if they told me I needed to put my sexual orientation on my emails and on a public board or my race / ethnicity or my age or any other demographic feature. No different to me than this necessity of announcing my gender identity daily. None of these are necessary for me to do my job.

Why is your comfort in insisting on knowing pronouns more important than the comfort of people who don’t want to go through the performative exercise?

What you wrote is illogical because it assumes the issue is simply about not liking certain pronouns. The person’s point was that they do not want to have to state their pronouns at all. By framing it as a matter of choosing between new or traditional pronouns, you are creating a false dichotomy that reduces the situation to two options and ignores the actual concern. It also sidesteps the original point, which makes your response a red herring.

No one here has raised a coherent concern. At least, not an honest concern that they held.
