Lots of Nazis liked being Nazis. It made them feel good, like they were part of something. It gave them meaning in the chaotic period after God was stabbed to death by a coke addled psychiatrist in a Vienna alleyway.

I really like pronouns in emails because how the hell am I supposed to know how to address someone I only ever emailed with? It's easy here in Poland, our language is so overly-gendered it would be hard to miss, but working with USians I never know...

"were against pronouns in emails because of compelled speech!!! Now I compel you to remove those pronouns!! What do you mean I'm a hypocrite? Nuh uh."

If I ever got a demand at work to return all users to their "legal" names I'm not fucking doing it they can write me up and find somebody else fuck that

I'm very tempted to put my pronouns in my work signature now tbh

I got an email from an HR person setting up an interview. The sig had “she/her/QueerAF” and I was like, I have to work there.

(And now i do)

Pronouns in emails seems fucking stupid. But wanna know what's MORE stupid? Getting mad about someone putting pronouns in their emails.

Dumbest thing you could ban.

Imagine if we put a stop to people doing anything we personally found cringe. 💀 No one would do anything in life.

Also you can’t pretend you’re pro-free speech while insisting that people take something benign out of their email signatures.

Our shop has a he/him Charlie (Charles), a she/her Charlie (Charlotte), and a they/them Charlie (Charlie). Pronouns in emails make sure the correct pronouns get used and makes communication easier.
