I pushed back against the pronoun bullshit in school.

submitted by onesundaymorning from (self.GenderCritical)

I had a meeting with career services in my school (which I didn't need because I am a non-trad student who has owned her own company since 2005...) and on the meeting form it asked me for my preferred pronouns. I wrote "I'm not participating in the pronoun game" and my advisor actually complimented me for it during our "meeting" lol.

Yesss!!! We need to do this more in our daily lives when the woke brigade rears its ugly head.

I am uncancellable. First, I am openly a TERF. If people call me one I'm just like "Well, yup." Second, I own my own business. I can't fire myself.

You should get a side phone that when they demand to "speak to your manager" just give them that number. When they call it make sure to make eye contact when you answer it.

My business mainly serves boomers and old people who no doubt see nothing wrong with me being a TERF. Plus, I live and work outside the US! But my school is an online US one.

You can technically let yourself go from your oen business, hirering someone else instead to make more money or get more free time.

I love your bluntness! If every woman was like this we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place. Sigh.

That's great news. Hopefully you will inspire other gender atheists.

Good for you!

I would guess also that even some corporate HR drones are uncomfortable with gender ideology being pushed down employees' throats.

This is refreshing to hear. It must be, too, for academics who got into teaching before all this mess.

"I don't understand this, " " This is offensive." Are all good responses
