[quote=Anonymous][url][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a cis white female and list my pronouns in my email signature. My LGBTQAI colleagues appreciate it and it’s easy enough for me to do. I work in healthcare and when we share our pronouns, it gives pts permission to share theirs. [/quote]

In my experience transgender folks aren't shy and a lot of it is about getting attention and being special. They don't need my pronouns to feel comfortable sharing. [/quote]

In my experience not everybody fits a stereotype.  In my opinion, instead of applying them to women, men, or nonbinary, it's a better practice to create an environment where people feel comfortable sharing.  Agree with previous that sometimes being misgendered as a man (I'm a woman) can work out in my favor, but that doesn't make it right to not to try to foster an environment where sharing pronouns is the norm.[/quote]

It does if sharing your gender is more likely to hurt you professionally. I have zero guilt about not indentifying myself as a woman in every email I send and if I am pushed on it I will sue my employers.[/quote]

Good point.

Like all those psychology studies where they force a range of students to first write their age, sex, race, etc. on top of their test. Then take the test. So they implicitly remembered their place in society whilst taking the test. [/quote]

Actually, like all the studies that show women are less likely to be selected for interviews if they have obviously feminine names on their resumes.  It astounds me that this pronoun thing is being pushed so hard.[/quote]
