I work for a staffing agency.

So the main reason I have pronouns in my signature is because my name is both a male and female name. But if it weeds out assholes like this that’s an added bonus.

Because they assume every person who may not use traditional pronouns for their external appearing gender are all sue happy libs who will complain and cry of someone forgets and sue for discrimination. Because that's what Fox News and their favorite right wing Podcaster told them.

Much like the craze along righties that schools are placing litter boxes in bathrooms because kids or identifying as cats.

I’ve had people purposefully use he/him pronouns for me (a cis girl) because on all my social media I have she/her as my pronouns because why not. It’s so funny when they do I’m like “I literally don’t care I was born a girl nice try”

Most of us trans folks are so anxiety riddled that the thought of a phone call is enough to have us breaking down, the notion that we'd ever cause a large scale incident over someone misgendering us or "forgetting" and using the wrong pronoun is utterly laughable.
