I had a moonbat at work suggest in our monthly leadership meeting that we should require everyone to add their preferred pronouns to their company profile and to their outlook email signature.
I, in all seriousness, told her that was inviting trouble because some people may be uncomfortable using everyone's preferred pronouns and other people will be uncomfortable if their own preferred pronouns are ignored. I also stated that some people who are transitioning their pronouns may not be comfortable sharing their pronouns in their email signature. I suggested that this was not currently an issue for our employees and we should leave well enough alone.
She flipped out. She said that anyone who is not comfortable using someone's preferred pronouns is a bigot and should be fired and that the only reason why some people would not be comfortable sharing their pronouns is because of the bigots that should be fired.
I looked her strait in the face and told her that I sexually identify as a Dom and that my preferred pronouns are Master and Master's. Her jaw literally dropped. I then said "Now I was not particularly comfortable sharing my sexual orientation with my team but now that I am out I expect you to refer to me as Master and if you are not comfortable with that I will be forced to report you to HR... OR, you can admit that maybe this is a horrible idea."
My boss bought me a beer at lunch and I have a new nickname.
