If you do you're an idiot.

RunRagged never disappoints! I have fantasies of listing my pronouns as me/me/me.

No, my signature is just a series on trendy hashtags.
Not on email or social, but I do on Slack/Zoom at work
I generally only notice when corresponding with some nonprofit, public interest, and government people. I imagine it's probably common in academia now.
Awesome!

No, but I could not care less if someone else does.
Very nice response showing some of the issues in a rather fair manner.
ya. good post from runragged.
those were all reasonable changes made once upon a time, and there didn't seem to be culture wars over them, because they were changes dictated by logic rather than emotion.

PS. That being said, I'm fine with the use of Mx instead of Mr or Ms. Or Mrs. It's non of your damn business if whether your business colleague is married or not.
We already have a word for that - "Ms." (pronounced "mizz"). The title "Mx." is the exact same thing if I'm not missing something.
"Ms." is a weapon of the patriarchy, created to emphasize the notion that the only value of a woman is in marriage. I can't believe anyone would still use this horrible, obsolete term.
Yes or no: Do you list your pronouns on your social media and email signature?
No.
Yes.
It's a small gesture I can make to make the world a more inclusive place for those who feel there is little representation for their experiences. Having grown up in a rural area where being different was looked down upon, I know what it's like to be LGBTQ and feeling like there is no one to talk to. If including my pronouns in an online profile helps someone to feel like they're not alone and do have someone to reach out to when they need to talk, I'm here for that.

I'm still frequently annoyed when Rojo decides to wax philosophical and completely miss the point. Do you feel entitled to an opinion because of your trust fund, or because you have Ivy League connections?
1.) Heck no.
2.) Rojo is entitled to an opinion, just like the rest of us.
3.) I feel for the other posters whose jobs require them to put their pronouns in slack. It is a weird phenomenon but by using that platform it is a social pressure cult.
Nope
We're running dangerously low on pearls to clutch.
No, and when I see a resume from these misguided college kids that has it on there it goes right in the trash bin.
