    Well, everyone on the call had pronouns.

    Only 1 person chose to advertise them.

    Follow me for more pedantry.

      I’m on the steering committee for a multi-center observational study. We have calls weekly with maybe 20 people from academic medical centers. One guy (he/him) has pronouns.

      I’m on another monthly call with a committee of non-profit leaders. Maybe 2-3 of 20 have pronouns.

      I’ll be at the National Health Council’s Leadership Conference in February, for the first time in a couple years. I saw a lot there with pronouns on their name badges. It’ll be interesting to see whether it’s changed.

      Also there a couple of presos had ā€˜land acknowledgments’, whereby the second-to-last people to have conquered the land are acknowledged as the true owners of it. I wonder if I’ll see any this time.

      Only non-witches get due process.

        You might occasionally find someone at the golf course to talk about pronouns.

        But only to mock and ridicule.

        These guys are trend setters.

            The land acknowledgement this is wild. I wish there's some trolly native teens up there in Canada walking in corporate random campuses and saying.. "Oh I'm not leaving, I'm the owner... I'm part of the XXXX tribe.. do you acknowledge you're on my land?"

              I've only heard pronouns at the beginning of a public presentation once at work, from a guy that I was fairly well familiar with, having worked with him some. Cis white male with a Harvard PhD, who wears some progressivism on his sleeve. After that time, I haven't heard him use them again.

              Ironically, I work with a scrum master who is clearly at least cross dressing if not transitioning, (he does have a very high voice, so I guess some hormones are being introduced), but he never mentions pronouns.

              Education is extremely important.

                The guy with pronouns on my weekly call is cis. As is his husband.

                  What, be a bearded brown man? I could totally pull that off. I'd just be cancelled faster than you can say "appropriation."

                      I rarely see pronouns advertised in online meetings; such is the case even going back a few years. Then again, most of my online meetings are international, maybe the pronoun thing was never popular outside of the USA.

                        @jon-nyc Curious if you are asked to put your pronouns on your name badge when registering at a conference, would you?

                          I see a fair amount of pronouns at work, particularly from Europeans. I was tempted to put mine as ā€˜He/Her’, to see if anyone would notice but I bottled it as I have no wish to be sent for extra training.

                          I was only joking

                            I want to just say no but there might be a situation where some broader interest of mine (say buttering up an NIH or FDA official for some result) exceeds my aversion to doing so. I don’t foresee that ever happening.
