When Raegan Zelaya and Shua Wilmot decided to include their pronouns at the end of their work emails, they thought they were doing a good thing: following what they viewed as an emerging professional standard, and also sending a message of inclusivity at the Christian university where they worked.
But their bosses at Houghton University, in upstate New York, saw the matter very differently.
Administrators at Houghton, which is affiliated with a conservative branch of the Methodist Church, asked Ms. Zelaya and Mr. Wilmot, two residence hall directors, to remove the words “she/her” and “he/him” from their email signatures, saying they violated a new policy. When they refused to do so, both employees were fired, just weeks before the end of the semester.
Houghton’s firing of the two staff members has dismayed some of its alumni, nearly 600 of whom signed a petition in protest. And it comes as gender and sexuality have become major fault lines in an increasingly divided nation, and after other faith-based organizations, including Yeshiva University in Manhattan, have argued that First Amendment protections of religious freedom allow them to treat gay and transgender people differently than others.

Works for me. Let everyone self-affiliate.
No speculation required.
It’s about time some adults somewhere are starting to put this childish, middle school BS to bed. I’ve seen kiddies come up with a lot of goofy stuff but this pronoun nonsense takes the cake.
“she/her” and “he/him”.
Going/gone.
Good. To me, they’re just trying to instigate “Wokeness”. There’s no need for it anywhere in business or in schools.
Anyone posting their “pronouns” simply exposes the fact that they have problems. No less, probably much more.
Avoid them like the plague.
Sickos do what sickos do.

Oh well. Seem you just can't tell who the weak-minded fools are gonna be."
People this stupid have no business working at a university (although, admittedly, there are plenty of stupid people employed by institutions of higher learning—even at the highest levels.)
They weren’t fired for putting their pronouns in emails, they were fired for refusing to follow their bosses’ legitimate policies. There’s a difference.
My pronouns are the N group. You know, Normal.
Wonder if their final check will be “pay to the order of he/she him/her
Just put he/her or she/him and let the chips fall where they may.
😆
There is an entire generation that has been indoctrinated with this BS and they are moving into control and the general workplace. That is why it seems to be taking hold everywhere. The worst of these deluded people went into all media
and ad agencies where they have a disproportionate impact. I see it getting worse not better
I like Ted Cruz’s “pronouns.”
Kiss. My. Ass.
A step in the right direction.
Ever make a business call to a company and during the conversation with that company's representative use the term "you people" referring to said company?
Oh, the horror! 😱
I would rather people continue to include their pronouns, preferably in a conspicuous part of the email. Then I can scan and figure out who the idiots are.
The DoD requires people to put their pronouns into their signature blocks in all their emails. I have been having a running war with them for not accepting my pronouns as ***/*** even though they rejected Uran/ahole even though my troops except for the faggots and lesbos love both.
