the radical left (*I remember when radical/radicalized were more widely used to describe Muslim/p.o.c's who had converted, etc.) was used to describe

I don't know

maybe

There a term for it, but it's like a mental 'earworm'. Every politician has their 'I have a dream' vocal tone, and tempo, and speech pattern.

i'm sure there is an answer, but i don't want to make a separate post.

anyway, for work we have to put pronouns after our names for zoom meetings and I noticed people putting she/they or he/they (as opposed to he/him, she/her, or they/their)

i asked around, but not the people that posted it, what it meant and they said maybe their gender was fuild and would respond to both she and they.

Anyway, I got an email from the help desk of one of our vendors where the signature was "{vendor name} Help Desk," the help desk email address, the help desk 800 number and then "she/her/hers."

So ... the help desk has pronouns ...?

My assumption is the that the person answering my question has pronouns, not the help desk, but the person never signed a name - just "help desk," so why were the pronouns in there anyway?

They're saying help is a feminine concept!

So all women are the help?

@silentintellect

If they put “they” you should say

“They are the manager”

The fuck is your name? Aiight, cool.

I mean; every so often you get a name that may leave you wondering if it’s a male or female. But Ionno.. seems a bit forced to me.

we are talking about how to write descriptions of art without mentioning normal gender roles.

we are talking about this painting: https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwhitney.org%2Fexhibitions%2Farchibaldmotley&psig=AOvVaw3J4yv0UlofFj1akhcn-n_L&ust=1603469849746000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCKDtrOrMyOwCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAD

I working the Arts & Culture sector too! It hasn't come up for signatures yet, but I am a DBA and database changes that go along with this, gender fields and prefixes are a headache.

couldn't get the edit in before the time expired, because of work lol

anyway, I work in the Arts & Culture sector too! It hasn't come up for signatures yet (thought I am sure it will), but I am a DBA and the database changes that go along with this, gender fields and prefixes are a headache. We have all these scripts set up that recently start failing on me because of gender. Character limit used to be 1 or 2. Now I gotta edit the script to 10 or something much larger. Also, mailings from development should say Mr. or Mrs. etc... we have scripts that auto determine that from the gender... those have to be edited.

might identify as male at work, but get home and have a 'girl' name and dress as a woman for their partner? They are both the same person though, clearly.

I'm just throwing that out there. I don't know.

I 'am' a cis-hetero-black male to some people...to me I'm just me. I try to understand and make room so I hope my theory isn't offensive.

"...Whateva, man..." (c) Redman

The question is specifically about people luminous saw identify as "she/they" or "he/they" (seemingly two entirely different pronouns) as opposed to "he/him" "she/her" and "they/their."

"They" is a gender identity I think anyone who's been paying attention is at least minimally familiar with.

But I have also never seen anyone put "he/they" or "she/they."

----------------------------------------

my question is why is the person using 2 different pronouns. Does the person identify with both she and they?

https://lgbta.wikia.org/wiki/She/They_Lesbian

She/They lesbians are lesbians that use she/her pronouns and they/them pronouns. They may consider themselves as a woman. They may also identify as non-binary but do not have to. Typically, they use she/they pronouns due to their gender expression as a form of gender non-conformity/pronoun non-conformity. Every she/they lesbian has a different reason as to why they might use she/they pronouns. They may also use other pronouns in addition to she and they. Not all she/they lesbians are androgynous looking and may have a femme or butch style.

To be clear I support all of this 100%. It impacts me none.

But god damn is it confusing to my tiny brains lol.

I don't like the idea of employers forcing employees to participate in this movement.

The way I would look at it (personally, no shot at you) if I worked somewhere that required it, is that it takes no time at all and doesn't have any adverse impact on my life or day to day. So that being the case, if it's something that would make some of my co-workers, clients, colleagues @ other companies I communicate, etc. feel more comfortable and included I'd have no problem doing it. No harm no foul.

surprised if the requirement came without staff equity/diversity/inclusion training to explain all the definitions...

but it did not include pronoun definitions.

of definitions and training from representatives of "they"

People who use "mixed" pronouns like that (She/They or He/They) are often people who grew up being called she or he and don't object to it, are used to it, but it's not entirely inline with the way they see themselves. Or they're in transition. They would like to at some point go by "they" but they're not there yet in their life for whatever reason. Sometimes it's easing friends and family into it, sometimes it's folks grappling with their identity.

This is what I've seen from the folks I know who use mixed pronouns.

"You can't beat white people. You can only knock them out."

people i've known

because their pronouns don't match what cis-gendered (mostly black) people accept.

so requiring someone to announce their pro noun is a simple thing

you won't catch bullets or a beating for it like a trans person does

or do they flush it before they use it but not after?

I hate that. I expect it at like, football games considering the neanderthals who typically attend those events.

But at the office ? Or just like some regular old public bathroom ? Flush the fucking urinal/toilet, you ghouls.

----------------------------------------

"Fuck aliens." © WarriorPoet415

they really gotta go and theres no other one open. do they just use it or flush first?

maybe this is a question for reddit.

I personally just wait.

I don't really use urinals anyway. But the same question applies for toilets.

----------------------------------------

"Fuck aliens." © WarriorPoet415

Every urinal I've ever encountered flushed automatically.

Bron has played against better competition and played a whole season more of playoff games in his career.

Dude has been going to finals like it’s his birth right and half of those squads were suspect.

each dude owned his era. The rules of basketball are totally different now. People's criteria for GOAT also vary widely. I can't really get mad if someone falls on either side of that debate.

The Cavs championship solidified for me that you can't be wrong either way. Bron won that shit all by himself, almost literally. Against a damn dynastic wagon of a team.

I still say MJ's better but I won't really even argue against the Bron side anymore, cuz there's not a lot of space between them either way, if any at all.
