Resist
Does that mean no-one can call him ‘President’ Trump or ‘Mr’ President any more?
Nouns are words that name people, places, things, or ideas, while pronouns are words that replace nouns to avoid repetition, such as “he,” “she,” or “they.” Essentially, pronouns serve a similar function to nouns but are used to refer back to them in sentences.
Getting an education is cool
Go for it
Isn’t president just a regular noun?
Sorry to all the Blakes, Dylans, Ashleys, Francises, Shannons, Frankies, Charlies, Rorys, Blairs, Leslies, Angels, Billies, Sams, Kellys, Danas, Harleys, Adins, Caseys, and all the other non-binary/gender neutral names that I can’t think of right now.
-signed a person with a non-binary name
Names are nouns not pronouns
For the life of me, I can’t understand why they care about someone’s sexual orientation or their pronoun.
I ran the numbers on sex changes and it’s like .001 of the population. It’s a non-issue.
The real issues are homelessness, inequality, Internet privacy, poisons in our food and workers’ rights…
Not fucking pronouns.
The same can be said for all those years wasted shaming people into using gender neutral language and adding pronouns to communications
Maybe we should not waste any time on this
They don’t care. The tactic is to have a minority that you can blame for all the bad things.
100 years ago it was the jews secretly running the world, today it’s the evil trans people and immigrants conspiring to destroy The West™.
Got to distract from the real issues somehow. Gotta keep that wealth extraction and concentrating system of exploitation alive. Can’t have the slave rising up to overthrow their masters again…
For the life of me, I can’t understand why they care about someone’s sexual orientation or their pronoun.
They don’t. It’s classic divide and conquer tactics to package up the general population into nice bite-sized chunks that they can destroy individually with minimal resistance from the others. Exact same shit is how the Nazis rose to power.
And once again the population isn’t ready…

- dipshits in the US who think we’re somehow better than the average German citizen in the 1930s
All fascists need to take dirt naps
Finally. Something that will bring down the cost of groceries…
And, the tariffs will bring them up
I agree with the sentiment but I wouldn’t go as far as banning it. I’m for free speech even when I think it’s stupid. I do admit of having preconceptions of people who do this though.
Also, feels like such a pointless thing to debate about as someone whose native language doesn’t have gendered pronouns to begin with. Here everyone is they/them.
What sentiment do you agree with then?
Not including your pronouns on emails / online profiles.
The communist leader of northern Venezuela is mandating how to conduct your business, how to write, how to speak.
Party of small government, rule of law and free markets.
Of course. How else will we prevent future aviation disasters?
This is so stupid. I know plenty of cishet people who include their pronouns in their sig because they have a gender neutral name.
Or, in my case, for solidarity and normalizing it.
Of course it’s daft to mandate what people can and can’t put in their email footers but I don’t get why people put pronouns in footers.
I’m cis male and he/him. Others can call refer to me as it/them or she/her if they wish.
I dislike bananas but I don’t put that in my email footer.
I haven’t seen it in a while anyway. I thought it was a fad from the late 10s
That’s why I do it too!
That is why I do it three!
My name tag at work also has my pronouns on it.
Ty for being an ally, king.
Legal disclaimers often have pronouns, right?

Malicious compliance it and replace all of the pronouns: “The information contained in this email message is intended only for the personal use of the recipient(s) named above.

Fuck 'em. I’m sure with a bit of work they could come up with some stuff that renders it nearly unreadable.
And yet again, the Tangerine Palpatine is focusing on stupid shit.
Farmers unable to gather their harvest? The working and middle classes being squeezed into oblivion? Grocery prices skyrocketing? Unknown drones taunting our military bases? Military helicopters colliding with commercial jets?
Nah, none of that stuff matters! Instead we just focus on fucking pronouns in emails!
What an absolute fucking joke.
Edit: fixed a typo.
Nah, none of that stuff matters!
No, not to him, that’s the point.
How much more deliberate in their oppressing and exploiting do those in power need to be before people stop expecting any different?
They’re there to serve themselves, not society
Does that include Mr. Mrs. and other gendered titles?
Of course not, those are heteronormative.
I’ve never done this, but this would make me start doing it
What about the people who often have DDoD, OCIS, NCIS, CCNA, CCNP, A+, Ph.D, MA, MBA, BA, BS, K12, SCRUMDIDDLYUMPTIOUS after their names? Can we get rid of title abuse then never focus on pronouns?
snrk A+… i always get a giggle when somebody actually includes that one
Mr,Mrs, Miss, JR, the III is dumb as fuck also.
App can go except for “SCRUMDIDDLYUMPTIOUS”. Because that one is SCRUMDIDDLYUMPTIOUS!
Jesus fucking christ.
(They / Them)This would make a great pronoun or title attached to your name. Sign off every email with …
John Doe
Jesus Fucking ChristI sometimes wish I were petty enough to legally change my last name to be she-her (i don’t think that slashes are allowed?l
