So I know how much we've mocked everyone and everything about the pronouns in the bios - and for the most part it's pretty well deserved.
However, I started to rethink this position when I started seeing it on some of the Asian names, specifically at our worksites in India and China... and I started realizing this trend may not be a bad thing especially for idiot Americans (like me) that look at a name and go "I have no idea what gender this is supposed to be" as it can stop me from embarrassing myself by misgendering someone that's very clearly male or female with a masculine or feminine name that I don't know how to tell apart. If you've seen some of the Indian names, you know exactly what I'm talking about. I'm sure there's other cultures that are looking at American names doing the same thing too...
So wrapping up this (hopefully) humorous thought, maybe this particular SJW thing can actually be helpful with international colleagues to prevent us from embarrassing ourselves and others?
Why are you embarrassed in your country by someone with a foreign name, unfamiliar to you?
There is no reason or expectation that you should understand gendered names from every culture on earth.
Stop being such a bitch. The whole point in the preferred pronouns is to put people on the backdoor. More worried about causing offense than the actual content of the speech.
I take it you've never accidentally called a dude "her" (vice versa) and then felt embarrassed by it?
Personally, I would prefer to avoid such moments if possible.
Why would I be embarrassed by that?
As long as you prefer to avoid such moments, you're vulnerable to leftist manipulation.
