Need to complain. I tried to call my doctor’s office and it was impossible to speak to a person. The AI kept telling me over and over that they care about my pronouns. I don’t care about my pronouns, I just wanted to speak to a person. It’s Seattle idk what I expected

    I was laminating a leaflet for the government department I work for the other day, and it had very carefully noted the pronouns for the department. That just seems silly to me.

      Assuming they were in brackets after people’s names, why is that silly? It’s just so you know how to address them.

        I think what they’re saying is on leaflet, the department had pronouns listed, like “Department of Sanitation (they/them)”

          Ah, that is indeed what they wrote but that interpretation didn’t even cross my mind! That is hilariously bad lmao. Thanks
