    Well going off your size in I'm going with they/them

    Jk

    Wasn't sure if you were trying to figure out your pronouns or asking us what we thought you were trying to say.

    Are you changing your pronouns again?

    Choose wisely!

    I am seeing pronoun designation more and more at work during meetings or on email signatures.

    This was visible last year but nowadays I feel like the designation is everywhere.

    How is situation at your work places?

    I now want to work at your workplace. Mine became too hygienic and politically correct.

    Cleanliness is next to godliness. Politics is far from either.

    It’s rampant depending on where the company is. Mine hasn’t adopted it yet. But I am extremely conscious of always saying they when talking to customers in California.

    I feel bad for the teachers who have been using he/him & she/her in the classroom for 25 years and now they have to stop.

    Not enough pronoun designation where I work. There's one guy/gal I've worked with for 2 years now and still have no idea if they're male or female or how they want to be referred to either.

    I'd like a nice little Him/His, She/Hers on every name tag at this point because I am getting really leery of treating this person like Cousin It every time I interact with them.

    We could do this, orrrrrrr we could just not get offended at accidental, innocuous mistakes that only affect 0.4% of the population.

    I think it is because 4 in every 1000 people look like Cousin It, but I may have it wrong.

    My best friend's wife is a middle school teacher. She told us one of her students is a lesbian and refuses to be called with pronouns as She/Her

    She wants to be referred to as they. So you have a valid point
