Ironically, it was actually through LinkedIn where I found the value of "preferred pronouns" in a professional setting.

I had received a business inquiry from someone who works in a senior management role in my industry. It was a new client opportunity for me. It was a foreign name, and I wanted to address my response to "Mr. So-And-So" but I had no idea what gender this person was and didn't want to commit a professional faux pas by getting it wrong.

So I checked on LinkedIn and found that it was a woman -- and saved myself some potential trouble.

Good Lord who cares - if you’re that sensitive just bow to the virtue signaling gods and stop using gendered language altogether.
