This doesn't seem to be mandated, unless I'm completely missing over something. It does sound terrible, however. I've noticed a lot more people including pronouns in their signatures in work e-mails and honestly it makes me feel like I'm being forced to admit I'm a woman. Something about it just really bothers me. I don't know if this is a bad way to think about it, but I try to keep my gender/sex out of my work.

I know that feeling especially on my social media I avoid saying my gender unless it's someone I know. I noticed there is a difference in treatment when people know I'm a woman. When they didn't know it, it was much better.

It's absolutely worse if you have to say you're a woman outright. There have been studies on this. No wonder it's overwhelmingly biological women going by "non binary" pronouns these days.

My bad, I was trying to write a quick summary headline because it didn't give me one. Sorry! Not mandated but if you don't participate or make any begrudging comment, they'll go to HR.
