Pronoun watch

On a zoom today for an FDA-adjacent initiative. 4 out of 18 had pronouns, all were women in their 30-40s who are career non-profits types. No one in industry or government had them.
No one from my foundation ever used them I’m proud to say, and unlike most non-profits we never had a DEI section on our website.

Good, there is hope this pronoun gender fluid crap dies off in the future. We (or at least I) have said from day 1 that one day we'll look back and either think "that is the dumbest thing that society thought genders were fluid, could change, and people could pick pronouns" or it'll be "grandpa, how come you were such a bigot back in the 2020s thinking there were just 2 genders?"

Gender is made up and agreed upon as Kenny would say so yeah tell me you’re this or that style of gendergoblin that’s cool.
But sexual dimorphism evolved almost one billion years ago and there are precisely two sexes, no less and no more, intersex is not a third sex, there are no intermediate gametes, and your gender was determined at meiosis* not ‘assigned’ at birth.
*or, plausibly, determined at conception. The difference is a frame of reference thing.

Yeah the gender/culture thing I can even see, from a very zoomed out lens. But even still, it would be more accurate to just say someone is a feminine man, or a masculine woman, since the cultural gender at the end of the day is just an association to the gender characteristics (look, voice, clothing, interests...), of course that is an option other than calling it a mental illness... aka gender dysphoria, or faulty neuronal development.
