I agree with the sentiment but I wouldn't go as far as banning it. I'm for free speech even when I think it's stupid. I do admit of having preconceptions of people who do this though.

Also, feels like such a pointless thing to debate about as someone whose native language doesn't have gendered pronouns to begin with. Here everyone is they/them.

What sentiment do you agree with then?

[-] Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago

Not including your pronouns on emails / online profiles.

Why though? It helps people know how to talk about you and takes nothing away from the ones who don't care about them
