Luckily we don't have that issue at work. Yet.

I think that we will start seeing issues in my business sooner rather than later.

At this point my business consist of my self, my wife and my daughter. So for me the pronouns are "Hey woman" and "Hey kid" Daddy needs a cup of coffee. And to my everlasting pride the normal answer is "OK, poopie head, you know where the cups are, and bring me a cup while you are at it"

Using the correct gender pronoun means calling Bruce Jenner "him".

Period.

THEY are not allowed to redefine the word "correct" to imply if I refuse to use the abominations of language they PREFER that it is I, not THEM, who is in error.

And, no of course I don't have ant respect for those people, they can't even use the word"correct" correctly.

"He and "Him" cover it for males and "She" and "Her" cover it for females.

What more is there to know?

It's coming as all those students trained in sensitivity start graduating into HR departments.

Canada already has laws enforcing the use of preferred pronouns in works, housing, school, etc.

"He and "Him" cover it for males and "She" and "Her" cover it for females.

What more is there to know?

It. He, she, it.

What a dick.

When you have discussions online, people will paste pics of those 1 in a hundred transwhatevers who could pass for the sex he or she is transitioning to but this is what you encounter in real life.

[Peter1469]

Perhaps I will just call everyone chicks. How would that go over?

Mine will say "His Majesty".

[Sergeant Gleed]

Except, of course, no one can ever or has ever "transitioned" from one sex to another. There just various stages of surgical mutilation.

I'm too old for this transgender pronoun stuff. And I'm not even old

It's funny that you mention this because I just noticed that one of the individuals from the brokers who we work with (I think a millennial) has a list of pronouns included in his email corporate signature, in this case "he/him/his". I haven't seen this before. A google search at the time explained the reason why.
