god, no wonder hiring managers are dropping people's resumes in the trash when they have their pronouns in them. Who wants to deal with the TQ+ bullshit?

Yea and for anyone out here wondering, this would not be unlawful discrimination at least in the U.S. because putting pronouns in your resume does not connote being transgender. It connotes being a fuckwit. I mean they want EVERYONE to put pronouns in signatures and I'm sure resumes too so you can't tell who is trans or whatever. Not sure how this helps anyone. Certainly not the transsexuals who wanted to transition and be done with and now get to enjoy people asking them what pronouns they prefer, ironically. It seems that the pronoun thing seems to primarily benefit the people who put no effort into any actual transition. Also non-binary people, who I guess fall within the category of "people who put no effort into any actual transition."

The nonbinary people I know/work with just go by their regular sex-based pronouns, especially at work. But we're also all highly educated professionals and they have enough self-awareness to not want to appear like fuckwits in front of those who pay our bills.
