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

Yeah, I have started seeing this crop up more and more. The weird thing is these people act like they are super-enlightened. I was in a grocery store over the weekend and the cashier had a name tag with her pronouns. I was like, "seriously... is that really necessary." I didn't say it out loud though.

@sladejr Well, no. Her name tag identified her pronouns as "She/Her" as though she needed to alert the customers to the obvious and that it was necessary for everyone to know how "with it" she was. I suspect though it was a company directive as it was actually an embossed part of her name tag... it might not be her fault. But, still...
