Without third-person pronouns, the writing is poor, wordy, and repetitive. The practice of stating pronouns refers to third-person pronouns such as s he, he, and they. Pronouns are small words that replace nouns. If you're considering whether to share your pronouns or your workplace is encouraging you to do it and you're unsure if it's something you're comfortable with, this guide will explain the issues involved. As Helen Joyce observed in her recent book ‘Trans’, “… because of gender identity ideology, the quest for the liberation of people with female bodies has arrived at an extraordinary position: that they do not even constitute a group that merits a name”. To refer to people by gender identity rather than sex is an attempt to erase the class of women and prevent them from fighting for their liberation. The ritual, like others promoted by the gender identity movement (e.g., using the phrase "people that menstruate" instead of "women", or "assigned female at birth" instead of "female"), works to undermine the evidential fact that across the globe women are oppressed socially, politically, and economically because of their sex and not because they somehow identify with their subordination. This guide will explore the creeping expectation that everyone (whether trans or not) has a "gender identity", which should be expressed to others via a particular pronoun. Who wouldn’t want to make their colleagues feel more comfortable and respected in the workplace? But, like many initiatives that seemed a good idea at the time, sharing pronouns has a much wider negative impact, particularly for women.
