Happy International Pronouns Day!
International Pronouns Day began in 2018 and takes place on the 3rd Wednesday of October each year.
This day seeks to make “respecting, sharing and educating about personal pronouns commonplace,” with the goal of “transform[ing] society to celebrate people’s multiple, intersecting identities.”
The founder of International Pronouns Day even gives guidance for how companies and organizations should engage with this day, stating that “[we want] large companies/organizations [to] focus on their internal practices and improvements.”
One internal practice for cultivating pronoun inclusion is by sharing pronouns in your communications, like your email signature!

Would "you" be replaced by they/them?
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, have fun.
I like International Caliber Day.
Hi, I’m Larry
My calibers are .357 and 10mm.
Bah, humbug!
Me, myself and I will suffice.
Oh man, what a genius idea.
Why didn’t I think of it...
Awww man. Not this krap again…
Great article:
Many pronouns have been around for a long time. For example, I and he. And the insanely woke folks have given us many new ones. For example, xe and eirself.
I cannot keep track of all the new ones. So I no longer talk to anyone who looks weird.
I’m caliber-flexible and caliber-curious...
I went to a large wedding in Boston in September—hundreds of people with nametags.
There were no “odd” pronouns to be found.
This group ranged from little kids to old timers.
Where are the crazies hiding if not in Boston?
You may call me, ‘She Who Shall Not Be Named.’ *SMIRK*
I can’t find the expletive strong enough, offensive enough, or vile enough to properly characterize this egregious demand from yet another execrable degenerate.
I suppose it would all depend on the type of wedding!
No weird pronouns at a traditional Italian wedding.
Plenty of weird pronouns at a gay Unitarian wedding.
She gave the book to her and me.Those chosen were she and I.
That sort of thing.
Calibers. Ah, finally. Now I know where the plural “they” come from but I still think that is used in the wrong party unless the woke use it for their bedbugs.
We/won
Sorry, I’m not going to lie just to satisfy some weirdo’s misbegotten self image.
If you want to be called by a proper name other than your own, fine. But don’t try to coerce me into perverting the language for your gratification, because I recognize what you’re doing even if most people don’t: You’re trying to control me.
Jesus has the pronouns He, His, and Him.
And while honoring His humanity this Christmas day, also remember His deity revealed by His resurrection. That’s why I capitalize His pronouns.
And never misgender God. Everyone will answer to Him.
My cat identifies as ME-ow.
