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

I work for a very woke, large company. They publish an email signature template that includes pronouns. They also have a section in their HR online employee profile page where you can declare pronouns.

I refuse to participate in such ridiculousness.

@easterniowegin ditto on all counts. So far they have encouraged cis folk to include pronouns, but haven't yet required it. I'm not looking forward to when they do

Woke companies become a toxic environment. Luckily, I work remotely.
I just want to keep my head down until retirement age, but it's like they keep making unrelated demands that I know are throwing up red flags to the dei crowd.
