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

Some employers require this. Even if it’s voluntary, by adding her pronouns, Alison is demonstrating her solidarity with trans people even if her gender is obvious.

@LeopoldBloom Demonstrating … solidarity? … gullibility? … I could go on!
@MartinII It's from the belief that if trans people have to indicate their pronouns, cis people should do the same thing.

@LeopoldBloom then it should be limited to those who feel the need to share their pronouns.
@Jenny1234 It's not mandatory.
