Does anyone specify their pronouns in email?

Just had an email from a person with first name Alison. Underneath it said pronouns she/her. No shit - you're a woman. I deduced that from your first name but I don't actually care what gender or whatever you claim to be we're just doing business. Don't know whether the pronoun bit is the organisation policy or something she chooses to add.

Had to answer professionally but was so tempted to say if you want to bring pronouns in to the equation wouldn't it be way cooler to be them/they

If it's a professional relationship, that would explain it. It's the latest woke thing to do in America these days.

The idea is to promote "inclusiveness" and address people in the way they want to be addressed - but as someone who is gendered other, it doesn't really float my boat. I'd rather be misgendered for a while and reveal what feels right for me when I'm comfortable than when some company boss tells me to.
