Automatic assumptions about gender pronouns are an unwelcome life challenge for some, the firms email said, and making ones preferred pronouns known is a way for Kilpatrick to create a more inclusive environment and build a culture where we do not make assumptions or pass judgment on each other.

Oh well, lawyers make up a majority of politicians, a group with the moral values of a Clinton, the technical expertise of an Occasional Cortex, and the intelligence of a Biden. Oh, we wouldn’t object if the silly firm decided to use “it” when describing a Democrat.
Fits.
SNAFU

“Life challenge”. Indeed. They are definitely challenged with life.
