If we are talking about pronouns like Mr. then I definitely will use them in English and the equivalent in other languages in professional communications with customers. There's also professional titles like Doctor and Engineer that are important.
I run into this more internationally.
This has been around a really long time. It's about showing respect and not anything related to wokeness.
What do you think? Makes sense. I like the idea of being called Mr. Engineer.

That’s cool. You can call me Ingeniero. I like that.
By the way, what all languages do you speak?

My pronouns are "deez nutz"
Seriously though. I have a good friend with the Fed Gov and this came down the pipe for them. We had a discussion about how since those terms are arbitrary and fluid a person could change them every day and then fight it when HR came down on them. It could be interesting to say the least.

I’m like some others, haven’t seen this in real life. How does it show up on a business card or signature?

By the way, what all languages do you speak? Fluently Spanish and Portuguese. Then a little this and that.

Thanks. So this is a required input? If so at least “Suzie” is consistent.

That just appears stupid. Woke - aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)

Traditional forms of address or titles such as Dr. are one thing, the woke garbage is lunacy.

All of this is incredibly stupid and sad. The far left ruins and destroys everything. And their eyes are veiled by the devil so they can't even see or understand what they have wrought.
And the people said, "Amen!"

School Boards are an important place to start but if we, in this community here, cannot spell properly...how in the hell can we expect to be heard?
WTF is "mam"?
Pass the gravy.

have gotten into this baloney of feeling like you have to tell people what your "pronouns" are? If so, why? Oh Gawd no!!! And don’t know anyone that has. But I’m never around any type of yuppy city woke type folk at work or in my personal time. We home school too so that also keeps us from being around the school crowds, but some of the stuff I hear that’s happening even in the Conservative type schools here in east Texas is mind blowing. Not only are the girls now boys, but some of them are cats and ‘furries”….. insanity I have inquired and confirmed this starts and stops at the school board level. Who in the hell are we electing and why? Better yet how many people actually vote at their local school board elections? People think if they don’t have a kid in school it doesn’t matter. That’s the farthest thing from the truth. We are voting on the future of our society. Small east Texas towns of 5-20k people only have hundreds of people voting for school board. It may be the most important vote we can cast in regards to our future as a society. To clarify, I don’t think these schools are “catering” to this type behavior like the other schools we read about, but the behavior is still there. It’ll only take a lawsuit when a boy decides he needs to use the girls locker room to test the resolve of these schools. And you are correct….VOTE.

WTF is "mam"? Doesn't matter at all. Being on a school board is all about how recognizable your extended family is and how many local groups you can get out to vote for you. Think roads in the county named after ancestors, deacon in big church, local businessman, etc. The voter turnout will be low so you have to have the most connections to people, who will go vote because they know you as one of their own, to get elected. Anyone who has those connections and doesn't take a spot to keep a progressive fruitloop out should not be surprised with the pronouns and pedos show up in their schools. All of my coworkers are fellow scientists. The pronoun thing hasn't happened yet. I will steal that Master/God/Highness idea if it does, though.
