Hey! I've got a pair of Peanut pajama bottoms. What are you insinuating?

I added pronouns to my email sig to be supportive, which I realize now is evil (and I'll remove first thing Monday). I actually like it from a practical perspective. I used to work as sort of a "tier 2" help desk SME, and I received so many contacts via email and help desk ticket. It wasn't easy to determine the gender (even if we're talking about a non-trans world) of the customer when they had unusual or atypical first names. I always reached out via email to the customer, and I liked to use Ms. or Mr. for civilians in my email greeting. So I would have loved to know how to address my customers without guessing or using less personal greeting terms.

Told/you/so are my pronouns.
I think I might know your SES, because that’s the only place I’ve seen it too.

The above was the only thing I liked about the 'pronoun' thing. In dealing with a ton of 'foreign names', it did save me from mis-speaking when addressing them..I remember correcting one of the upper management when he addressed a woman with a ' Come on, man' when arguing about something on an email. That didn't go well..
When I respond to tickets from someone with a gender neutral name, I respond with "Hello," or "Hi Jackie,". Before this whole "declare your pronouns" thing we managed to do it just fine.
As I've said before, I couldn't care less about someone's gender identity. I've been in situations where I've been corrected and I go with it. If some guy wants to be ma'am or a girl wants to be sir, no skin off me. But the all these posers jumped on the bandwagon - "See me being all edgy? I'm xe/xim! I'm it/that!" It's stupid and I hate stupid things. Then they got to the point where they were demanding and obnoxious and belligerent, and I began to actively dislike them.
We all get along so much better when social activists aren't trying to cause friction. I hope we learn to start ignoring them and just treat each other with what used to be common courtesy.

Ignoring them is what we used to do, remember?
Then they got all belligerant & demanding.
And you want to go back to ignoring them?
I say we go back to persecuting them...at least then, they ran & hid...allowing us to just kinda ignore them.
As we've learned, we have to be forever vigilant, in order to keep the wolves away....
See, I'm not a persecutor. I'm a live and let live. But I need them to live and let live, too, and not get all pissy and belligerent. It seems like that's what they really want - to be as obnoxious as they possibly can and piss everyone off.
I'm here, I'm queer!
Good for you, buddy.
I'M HERE, I'M QUEER!
I said good for you.
I WANT YOUR CHILDREN!
Now you better back the fck off....

Board Mommy is ambiguous?
And that is why you have a permanent weekly time slot balloted at HR.
You can see the root problem when government workers resist simple directions such as removing pronouns from email signature's. They think government works for them, not the other way around.

Believe it or not - ADDING them was suggested to everyone - gosh, a year ago? More? I didn't because as I've said before, I wouldn't be able to resist saying my pronouns are "Lord" and 'Master".
They DO keep - urging us - to add things to our sig, and it's annoying. Mine has the necessary stuff - name, phone, division, basic contact information. It's not supposed to be a biography.
