Summary
Federal employees at multiple agencies were ordered to remove pronouns from email signatures by Friday, following executive orders signed by Donald Trump to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.
Agencies including the CDC, Department of Transportation, and Department of Energy issued directives citing the new policy.
Some employees expressed frustration, with one CDC worker calling it unprecedented.
The Office of Personnel Management also instructed agencies to disable pronoun prompts in email systems, marking another step in Trump’s broader rollback of DEI initiatives.
Imagine using “He” or “She” like a typical American…
I just use 他 (pronounced tā), gender neutral, unlike English lolol
One pronoun to rule them all!
他 is “he.” Iirc it was the only pronoun until the 20th century, but now there is 她 for “she” and 它 for “it.” They are all pronounced the same though, so your joke works when pronounced out loud.
Because western influence added culture wars 😭
他 (he/she), 它 (it), 祂 (for deities). Long ago, three pronouns existed togerther in Harmony. Then, everything changed when the Eight Nation Alliance attacked.
AOC removed her pronouns from her bio months ago, not a bad example if the Dems have an ounce of pretense of winning another election . The 99% of voters don’t care about that.
In any case, the permanent stun proceeds. Take that as you will
For the first time ever, I’ve added my pronouns in rainbow color.
Welcome to the 0.0014 percent
So much for ending emails with a simple “thank you” at the end. Damn offensive pronouns.
Please use my full, christian, and satanic name when referring to me.
This is so they can build in an excuse to fire everyone in IT.
Fuck pronouns, I just use names.
Comply but include unicode: ♀ ♂ ⚧
Maybe they’ll finally pick something important to work on tomorrow. Probably not, but maybe. We still have other issues right? I heard a couple of planes fell out of the sky and eggs are $10 and the ice caps are gonna melt.
Freeeeeheeeeeedooooommmmmmmmmmmmmm
(redacted/redacted)
This should be what people do.
The party of Freezed Peach! Can’t you just smell the freedom?
Also, I’m sure it’s THIS that will give us cheap groceries.
Move from signature to from line lol
The federal agency I work with does put them next to your name if you have them registered. Curious how long that lasts.
Look. I know we want to dunk on this continuing train wreck that is TWELVE DAYS IN and has wrecked so much.
But - and here I’m paraphrasing my friend who is a psyche, does deal with people most highlighted by signaled pronouns and is also affected directly - “Stating the pronouns causes ‘othering’, is NOT helpful, and only exists to make white normies feel good”. Like, it had no benefit outside of social media fake Internet points.
I’m not a shrink. I’m not affected. I am trying to see where I can care. On this one, it’s really challenging, and my friend says that’s because it’s junk.
So, good, if the dirt bags feel like they’re sticking it to the libs while removing something designed just for influencers. Doesn’t affect me or my friend or people like … them. (Wow I hate to say ‘them’ there when I want to say ‘him or her’ but it’s ‘them’, like they’re not us and we’re not them. The othering is high on this one)
Way to completely miss the point.
Should mandating what people put in their email signatures be one of the duties of the president, in a free democracy?
What message does this send to trans and non-binary people, and what message does this send to the bigots hating them? What happens if it isn’t done “by end of day”, which is a completely ridiculous time limit?
Anything to distract from the plane crash they caused and plans to indefinitely hold citizens and people who missed a court date in an expanded Cuban military black site the public never wanted built on the first place
That’ll bring down the cost of living fs
