What’s the best way to tell someone your pronouns at work?
-The answer is clear, straightforward, and casual — in the same way you’d share what region or city you live in.
- In-person, share them with your basic intro. “Hey! My name is Lily Zheng. I use they/them pronouns, and I’m a diversity, equity, and inclusion strategist living on Muwekma Ohlone land in the San Francisco Bay Area.”
- Online, including in email signatures, you can include your pronouns (typically in the format of “X/X” or “X/X/X” (e.g. “she/her” or “she/her/hers”).
- When it comes to asking someone their pronouns, it can get more complicated, as most people don’t ask everyone their pronouns — most people only tend to ask visibly transgender or gender-nonconforming people.
- The advice here is to focus instead on always introducing yourself with your pronouns. If the individual you meet feels comfortable doing so, they may share their pronouns with you.
- For all people who have not shared their pronouns with you, commit to using singular “they” until you learn their pronouns.
…
If people share that they use multiple sets of pronouns, make your best efforts to use the different sets they’ve shared. If you feel comfortable, you can ask them whether they prefer others using different pronouns within the same conversation (e.g. “I was talking to her the other day. They told me…”) or changing pronoun sets across different conversations (e.g. Conversation 1: “I was talking to her the other day. She told me…”; Conversation 2: “They mentioned that to me before! They were saying…”).

My pronouns to all leftists:
Go f**k yourselves.

Um, that would be no. I will not ask what pronouns someone prefers. As far as asking a tranny, that won’t happen either. If someone shares their pronouns during an introduction, that’s as far as the conversation will go. I’m just not going to play that game.

Not only did it fail biology, it failed basic English, as well.
I block with pleasure anyone on LinkedIn, who denies biology and posts pronouns after their name - and for another 25 reasons as well.
“Who got time for dat??!”
Your (xour?) nouns are so screwed up, I found it hard to believe xey’re pros. Probably amateurnouns trying to hit the big time. “He was just turning his tense around!”
My pronouns are Apache/attack helicopter/helicopter gunship (only in the case that someone asks what my pronouns are). Otherwise, as Popeye would say, “Iyam what Iyam”.
All this pronoun sh!+ is for the birds. There are two genders, male and female, and only two!
We can joke but this is serious stuff. It’s a very effective method of stopping free speech. Another person is not going to decide what I can or cannot say.
My pronouns are sir/sir’s
I have been taking some online classes from Oregon State University, they are on gardening. At the beginning of every class, the announcer says, I go by she,her and describes what tribes land she is living on? What the hell, do they all do that now?
No, Paige Cohen (you F***ing idiot.) The pronouns I learned at Davis Elementary back in the 1950s still apply. He, She, It, We, You, They.
See? easy.
By the way, that is Davis. As in Jefferson Davis.
I noticed that a small drop of insanity can spread like oil on a still pond. A few years ago some certifiably insane people in a few universities started promoting the use of personal pronouns tailor-made for the individual’s evanescent sexual fantasies. Universities started posting sample pronouns on their websites, ranging from “he” to “zes” or some such thing.
Rather than being forgotten in the dustbin of history, as all insane ideas need to be, this captured the minds of the “woke” crowd and it spread like dandelions on your new lawn. The White House now promotes the use of individual pronouns on its website.
I know that readers of Free Republic are the last bastion of sanity. They have uniformly rejected this nonsense.
The English language has become what it is without the help of any controlling authority. It moved from “thee” and “thou” to “you” and “yours” without anyone mandating anything - with due respect to all those English teachers who have tried to get people to say “whom did you see?” instead of “who did you see?”
They are talking about third-person pronouns. They are used in speaking about a person, not in speaking to him/her. The pronoun used when speaking to a person is “you,” and they aren’t planning to change that one. They’re targeting he, she, his, her, him, hers because they have a gender.
The insane left is obsessed with gender and sex. Has something to do with the words “Male and Female He created them.”
Sane ideas are getting hard to find these days. Too many insane ideas swarming around them and babbling for attention. And they get attention. Far too much attention.
I am offended you had to ask me my pronouns!
You must be either Jason Kenney or Justin Trudeau! </sarc>
Heck I can’t remember anyone’s names. Pronouns? Pfft!
This person needs extensive therapy.
Oh, it’s very serious. Agreed.
And it’s related to everything else they have been doing lately such as statues and the national anthem. They are intentionally trying to create a sharp break from the old ways. It’s a cultural revolution.
