Or, in my case, for solidarity and normalizing it.

That is why I do it three!

My name tag at work also has my pronouns on it.

Of course it's daft to mandate what people can and can't put in their email footers but I don't get why people put pronouns in footers.

I'm cis male and he/him. Others can call refer to me as it/them or she/her if they wish.

I dislike bananas but I don't put that in my email footer.

I haven't seen it in a while anyway. I thought it was a fad from the late 10s
