Need Advice or SupportHow to speak up against pronouns at work?
Posted January 2, 2024 by kalina in GenderCritical

I think this is a bit of a different case than these questions usually go because it's not about the employees having to put pronouns (yet) but about implementing pronouns in one of our products. Long story short I'm a developer working on a game and someone in the team just suggested we implement a pronoun field for every player. I am obviously against it but I wonder what's the best way to speak up against this and make arguments without giving anyone reason to complain about my transphobia or whatever.

I know that there is at least one other person in the team who would support him in this while I think the others are not necessarily pro trans, I know my team lead would probably be against it but I don't know if he can say that openly.

As for the company itself it generally tries to be pretty young and hip and 'inclusive' however so far pronouns have not been enforced, as it is an option in slack but we don't have to use it.
