You put #1 twice but they go together as long as you don't phrase it too rudely.

Don't refer to their policy as "woke" with a negative connotation or you might set off alarms that you engage in wrongthink. I find work email signatures to be annoying and cluttered already without adding more crap. Especially in a long email chain I hate when the body of each reply email is 1% of the signature. Ok if you want to send a formal email you can add it but it's just way too much when you need to sift through 30 emails.

Side note is I work for an Asian owned company in STEM and their attempt at gender diversity training was uncomfortable enough to make even me think the training itself was transphobic. They basically went straight to telling you not to post jokes about the MtF coworker's genitals in the break room. I was like ... ... ... WHAT?

So where is the appropriate place to post jokes about coworkers genitals?

Emails are ponderous in themselves. The headache of email threads in particular are why chat apps are taking over.

I kinda like how straight to the point they are though. It's like the more Asian-style directness trying to conform to the standards of contemporary Western woke dogma, with less tact but also lacking the pretenses, with less roundabout finessing and finagling.

"Making fun of their penis- Not allowed!"

True but that would be true regardless of a person being trans or not. Sometimes I think they take some of their own training modules and try to direct translate them to English and it comes across as a bit much.
