I had a day at work recently meeting the entire organisation. One woman had a bright yellow ‘she/her’ badge on her lanyard?!? The fact she was a woman gave it away for me.
If LGB activists started pressurising the world to state their sexual orientation after saying your hellos, or religious zealots made us state our beliefs in emails and on badges, the world would be going batshit. No other group has had this effect on workspaces like this.
I saw a similar workplace to my own online this week and thought, ‘Oh wow, seems great there, wouldn’t mind working for them one day’… two seconds later, saw a team intro page and everyone had pronouns (all him or her) after their names. Will not be applying for that, EVER. Imagine if you said no somewhere like that!
