pronoun adoptions (not political, about real people using them)

what sort of adoption rates do you have around you, and maybe what is your general world location? out of curiosity.

talking about people expecting you to call them they/them/his/her/she/he/it/fluid/pan/lgbt/cis/omni/whatever.

I'm in the center of north america and I see nearly zero influence of it. sometimes I process emails and catch a signature where a company has suggested they can put their "Pronouns" in there, and I see maybe 1 in a 1000 that say Gern Blaston (He/his/they/them/cis)

nor has it EVER arisen in front of me in real life, in any situation.

what are you all seeing in the wild out there?
does anyone care, or has this fad tanked already? the latest ebonics?

It seems to be an optional thing in the business I work for, I have seen people state it on their email signatures. So far I feel like it's been a waste of time as you can tell the gender from their first name anyway. I am yet to see something like "John Smith - pronoun She/Her".

I am tempted to use one that states "It" as I think that is what the Left would love us to be.

yup. all seems very redundant, even excessive: "you are not bright enough to figure it out, so here, let me help you by telling you directly..." hahahahha stupid

just insanely stupid. its good to see it is not even remotely catching on. i'm sick of insanely stupid things.

What I roll my eyes over is when you call a Govt dept or business and they ask what Gender etc

I know trans gender people if that's what you are asking. It's not a big deal, I let them live their lives and they let me live mine. They have never gone out of their way to explain their pronouns to me, it just happens through common sense

In a few decades all you bitter old confused people will be gone and more trans genders will be around, and later generations will not treat pronouns like a big deal or an assault on liberty

No reason to stop you embracing the dumbing down of society. It's happening anyway. :)
This has not an advancement. It's de evolution.... knowing less. If you're happy with that, so be it. :)

What makes you think I am bent on creating this Dumbland you speak of, twinkle toes?

[–] 123Guy (7259) 2 years ago

The best part is hearing that almost no one even cares.... just another silly fad to be forgotten in a few more years.
Such time wasting on this stuff.

You’re the one who spent time creating a thread about it, doofus. If you are so concerned about wasting time on it, why didn’t you just shut your pie hole about it and concern yourself with more important matters?

[–] AndyKing1967 (38076) 2 years ago

I never said I didn’t care, you asked had I encountered it, to which I answered no. Nevertheless, I’m happy to call people whatever they prefer - same as the fact I prefer Andy to Andrew.
