What's Up with All the Pronoun Mess

[HogHunter34]

I'm on LinkedIn and I'm seeing more and more connections adding their pronouns to their name. A guy I used to work with is in his early to mid 60's and I even noticed he added the He/Him to his name/title. I guess I don't get it. It's not like this is some kind of requirement to apply for a job, loan, or legally identify yourself with. Just seems to be more and more of this showing up. I guess I'm old school I don't have to add to my identification other than what's been working for years now such as Mr., Biological sex, DL #, SSN. I guess we live in a world of social acceptance beyond just the norm these days. I get a kick out of those saying if you don't identify someone by their appropriate pronouns that it could be offensive or even considered harassment. I could also play that offensive game that I'm offended you think I"m too stupid to determine what you biologically are without having to stamp your pronouns on your forehead. Just seems the wokeness is spreading like wildfire.

I'm just too darn old to worry about everybody's stance and all woke stuff.

I wouldn't put it past some of these social media platforms adding them on their own. If for no other reason than to further normalize the BS.

Dat ain't happening or they would surely misgender someone

I know several business owners who won't take a second glance at anyone's application that contains pro-nouns.

“They” are confused. And so are all the other “Thems”.

Some jobs require their employees to use them.

My granddaughter was looking at job apps on the net, and some of them asked if she was trans, gay, straight, asexual, etc. What a crock of hock !

AOC started this crap when she announced hers were clue/less.

Lot of big company have HER/SHEY/IT HR folks who put those at the top. Just like all the right/left marketing sometimes you get noticed in a good way and sometimes in a bad. I think people are trying to appear open-minded about it and showing they'll get along in a big office environment, that's the LinkedIn crowd honestly. Having said that I think it's retarded and I'm using that term in a derogatory manner towards people who use pronouns or go along with them. The worst ones are the straight people who add their correct (biologically) pronouns just so they can fit in.

I don’t really care what someone puts on their inter-webs, but I refuse to acknowledge or participate in their delusional behavior.

That's ridiculous in my opinion. I'm glad my employer has not gone woke to that extent.

If we are equal, what difference does our "pronoun" make?

I was just asking my wife who woke up one day and decided they were an it, him, her, she, shim, they, them... and all of a sudden decided to demand people address them in that manner. I guess it's the new fad in social networking these days

I was accused recently of misgendering a store worker. I told it, “if it did a better job with it’s costume I might have got it right”. 😂🤣😂🤣
