MAGA voters couldn't identify a pronoun in high school. How are they supposed to figure it out now?

Doesn't go far enough, remove pronouns from the email body too.
To it may concern. Notice did not complete task before deadline. Please can provide update? Look forward to reply.
Don’t think whom is a pronoun, is it?
You used it
Someone's about to get fired...
Does that mean no-one can call him 'President' Trump or 'Mr' President any more?
Isn't president just a regular noun?

For the life of me, I can't understand why they care about someone's sexual orientation or their pronoun.
I ran the numbers on sex changes and it's like .001 of the population. It's a non-issue.
The real issues are homelessness, inequality, Internet privacy, poisons in our food and workers' rights..
Not fucking pronouns.
They don't care. The tactic is to have a minority that you can blame for all the bad things.
100 years ago it was the jews secretly running the world, today it's the evil trans people and immigrants conspiring to destroy The West™.
100 years ago they were also persecuting trans people. Here's a photo of them burning books in 1933, some of which were from the Institute of Sexual Science after it was raided by the Nazis. And it only got worse from there. Here's a whole article about it.
For the life of me, I can’t understand why they care about someone’s sexual orientation or their pronoun.
They don't. It's classic divide and conquer tactics to package up the general population into nice bite-sized chunks that they can destroy individually with minimal resistance from the others. Exact same shit is how the Nazis rose to power.
And once again the population isn't ready....

- dipshits in the US who think we're somehow better than the average German citizen in the 1930s
Despite people perhaps still believing this, I believe it was largely disproven in the 1960s by the Milgram experiment.
Got to distract from the real issues somehow. Gotta keep that wealth extraction and concentrating system of exploitation alive. Can't have the slave rising up to overthrow their masters again...

Sorry to all the Blakes, Dylans, Ashleys, Francises, Shannons, Frankies, Charlies, Rorys, Blairs, Leslies, Angels, Billies, Sams, Kellys, Danas, Harleys, Adins, Caseys, and all the other non-binary/gender neutral names that I can't think of right now.

Finally. Something that will bring down the cost of groceries...
Don't you know that adding your pronouns to an email costs an entire 6-10 bytes? There are children starving in Africa and you're wasting your bytes on pronouns! Shame on you.

This is so stupid. I know plenty of cishet people who include their pronouns in their sig because they have a gender neutral name.
Or, in my case, for solidarity and normalizing it.
Yes, this is why they care. It's part of woke ideology.

Of course. How else will we prevent future aviation disasters?
And lower the price of eggs
I’ve never done this, but this would make me start doing it
I, too, dislike being employed.
But seriously most people will not risk their livelihood for it. It is almost guaranteed to end up in court like so many other of their bullshit policies.
They're getting fired eventually anyway, they had pronouns in their sig in the first place.
Got a source for that, or are you making up your own inflamatory "facts" again?
...Trump offered all federal employees 7 months salary to quit. He signed two executive orders today to unilaterally dissolve some federal agencies.
You logically cannot believe hes not in his night of long knives period. Someone with the care to put pronouns in their work communication isn't loyal to Trump, and thus logically wouldn't survive the firing and agency shutdowns Trump is currently actively doing.
I get you disliked China and Chinese people but are you really letting that poison your logic to the point you're ignoring reality. Is your insistence that Chinese people are wrong in all things worth not paying attention to the half dozen executive orders a day which is actively getting the US government?
So no. Just more lies and distortions. Trump is plenty bad without making up lies.
My antipathy is towards those who, like you, consistently advocate for the authoritarian CCP, whilst also trying to incite people against their own governments.
I'll start requesting people to use thee/thou soon.
Does that include Mr. Mrs. and other gendered titles?
That's not a pronoun, but it could function as a replacement to skirt this ruling, assuming it doesn't include gendered honorifics.

And yet again, the Tangerine Palpatine is focusing on stupid shit.
Farmers unable to gather their harvest? The working and middle classes being squeezed into oblivion? Grocery prices skyrocketing? Unknown drones taunting our military bases? Military helicopters colliding with commercial jets?
Nah, none of that stuff matters! Instead we just focus on fucking pronouns in emails!
What an absolute fucking joke.
Edit: fixed a typo.

The communist leader of northern Venezuela is mandating how to conduct your business, how to write, how to speak.
Party of small government, rule of law and free markets.
Mexican here. We're Northern Venezuela. We'll let you have Northern Cuba.
