You gotta do passive resistance and plausible deniability. I like putting titles on my own emails, letters, using Mr. Or Miss. or Mrs. On emails to people, calling folk sir or Maam/madam, or even Miss. saying things like “hello Gentlemen... (pause) Ladies... how are you” on entry into conference calls/zoom chats etc. that really grinds some folks gears.
It’s ultra polite so nobody can say anything. It’s all about reclaiming normal language. Use categorisational language and words. Manageress, waitress, fireMAN, workMAN, repairMAN, infantryMAN, manhours, postman, manpower.
I’ll use the female versions too. Policewoman etc.
It subtly triggers all the right people. Also, stop using ‘guys’ when addressing everyone. Sometimes I’m convinced it was invented or put into common usage to demasculate men. You would probably never hear Patton or Montgomery call his men ‘guys’.
No, it’s “we will deploy my men here and here” “the men have been set this task” etc.
BritPede is right. The English language belongs to all of us. Individuals cannot "own" a pronoun. If you see a he, call it a he. Maybe the transvestite will realize his masquerade isn't working. Same thing in reverse. If it's got a delicate frame and speaks in falsetto, no way that's a he. Just call it the way you see it.
I work in business consulting type profession. One of the contact person I was talking to at a company had on her linkedin profile a giant BLM logo.....like what the fuck? Who does that?
I'm seeing it as well (USA). I immediately have no respect for that person, regardless if I have met them face to face or not. I also do my best not to email them back or deal with them.
This has become a thing at my work. Several people are putting their pronouns in their email. I can never take them seriously again.
normal looking real estate agent i was looking to use had it in his. i noped out.
I’ve started seeing this in my company’s Slack channels. I’m in the US, but the company is Canadian, so I guess it’s not surprising.

Just takes a bit of mental caching yourself.
