[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am queer and will never “proactively” share my pronouns.  I’m a woman.  It’s obvious.  This is such virtue signaling bs I can’t even.  This makes me so mad.  [/quote]

Serious I don’t GAF that you are LBGTQ … please tell me the gender of

Punyask

I’m writing an email I don’t know your gender. If you’re cool with being “they” then leave it out. If you want to be referred to by your gender please let me know what it is.[/quote]

I have a gender-ambiguous foreign name. Why do you need to know my gender to write me an email? We use all first names at my company and in external emails as well (I'm a lawyer at a F500 so we are pretty buttoned up but no one is saying Mr or Ms). And you wouldn't be referring to someone in the third person in an email to them, right?

This is separate from trans inclusiveness but it's always brought up and annoys me.[/quote]

Ciroeak needs access to building 20. Please update her/his/their badge to give her/him/them access.

The server is down. Byhresdy has responded to the emergency. Call her/him/them for testing,

I am more than happy to use they/their/them.[/quote]

I am a woman with a foreign name where the gender is not obvious. [b]Sometimes I like it when people who have not met me do not know that I am a woman. I believe I am taken more seriously when strangers I am corresponding with via email think I am a man[/b] (I work in the tech industry). I don't always want to announce my gender in my signature to avoid anti-woman bias. [/quote]

I am the other PP with a foreign name. Totally agree on this.[/quote]
