[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools like Johns Hopkins are respected, but that’s different from being “loved,” which is more of a warm fuzzy feeling.[/quote]

For warm and fuzzy it is Brown. [/quote]

Lots of eye-rolling on our Brown tour (2021 or 2022) when all of the tour guides announced their pronouns. Also, a friend's daughter (now graduated) faced disciplinary action there for refusing to state her pronouns in a class group. So no, not warm and fuzzy.

Honest question. Why did she refuse to state her pronouns? I actually think the pronoun stuff is silly; if people want to be known by others, they can make it known, but I don't think it's something that should necessarily be part of introductions since in most cases, the logical guess is correct, but if someone makes you do it, why not just say what they are - or even, "they're what you'd guess"? The pronoun still will actually run its course pretty quickly. I know it feels like a long time, but within 10 years we don't be doing it. People will just use what they want and others will catch on.[/quote]
