All a company has to ask the applicant is if he or she voted for Joe Biden or any corrupt Democrat. If the answer is yes, they would be incapable too even sweep the floors. Give them a cookie and escort em' to the parking lot. What is a pronoun? I flunked English 1A twice.

My pronouns kiss/my/ass.

I resolutely identify as Critical Infrastructure.

I’ll chime in. I work in grocery for a large supermarket chain here in Oregon. Over the past three years, I’ve noticed that the people I work with who use pronouns, are more often than not calling out sick a few times a month. It’s frustrating for the rest of us who don’t call out with lame excuses. I’m a 63 year old brain tumor survivor who occasionally experiences headaches and cognitive function issues, but I still show up and NEVER EVER use that as an excuse for not coming into work. I was given a second chance at life and I’m not going to squander it!!! 💜🧠🙏

No one wants to walk on eggshells all day

Imagine the tears and pouting when you forget about their special pronouns. No thanks. I prefer employees who can choose between one of two options (male or female).

Especially when I identify as my authentic eggself!

Nor panda to their perverse psychological hang ups.

But it's so good for your balance!

I once heard a business owner say he had no problem giving an ex felon or similar a chance if he felt like he might actually work out, but a resume with pronouns “goes right in the trash”. It made an impression me: ex criminal? Maybe. Pronouns? Hell no”. I’d have to agree

I concur, I have tried many ex cons and a few work out, and a lot do not. But they are not making excuses.. they are trying. Pronouns? They have never, ever worked out and go into the circular file.

no business owner wants to hire trouble. it may be "illegal" to not hire someone on the basis of their declaration of phony pronouns but unless you can read my mind (wait, it's coming), you won't really know why i picked one person over the other.

a pronoun person is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

i was recently asked to do wardrobe on a small opera for a few days. as i've been let go of my job of 40 years over the vaccine, i took it. no one asked me my pronouns but when i saw the program i discovered that the artistic directors had taken the liberty of "assigning" me a pair based on my biological reality. i'm going to let them know that i am not a member of their church, that i will not recite their catechism and that in future, should my name appear in print, it is NOT to have any descriptives after it.

there are no such things as non-binary people. everyone is one OR the other, no matter how they dress, what color they dye their hair or what pronouns they think they can force others to use.

Just like the #metoo bullshit. Worst thing to happen to women in a long time.

Normal women know metoo is idiotic.

I would hope so.

You know it is technically "pound" me too?

They're happy to tell you who you have to hire because they don't have to work in the office with the whackadoodles.

Haha whackadoodles is a GREAT word for these mentally ill peeps.

LinkedIn pronouns are a red flag. Here are the cringiest flexes: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-flex-on-linkedin-cringe-contest

First time I saw pronouns on LinkedIn was on my ex-bosses profile....I was like WTF??!?

There were many reasons he became my ex-boss and that just further confirmed my choice to get the F outta there.

Pronouns = Mental Illness (see, engineering)

She/Her applicants might as well add their penis dimensions.

C'mon man, you know the would all be exaggerating!!

“The phantom resume including pronouns received 8% less interest than the one that did not lead with mental illness, with fewer interview and phone screening invitations.” <- I can’t believe it’s ONLY 8% less interest. And I laughed at, “...did not lead with mental illness,...” haha

exactly! i would think it should be closer to 100% less interest

They are scared of liability under the law.

Also HR departments are increasing full of those with the pronoun fixation.

Maybe they dropped the zero?

90% of the women on dating apps use pronouns now. 🤦🏼‍♂️ 🤦‍♀️ 🫠🤡

Expand full comment

Wait. What? I’ve been married a long time, so have never used one of said apps. These women are using pronouns in their bios??? As in “she/her.”

If so, I have advice for single and searching men out there: a woman with pronouns in her bio is BEST left alone, regardless of beauty (hotness), hobbies in common, etc.

Coloured hair - green, purple, etc. is another flag. Used to be cats.

Expand full comment

Still is cats or in fact any pet they regard as "their child". These people have severe mental issues.

Expand full comment

I agree! I mean, we have 3 cats, but we also have 2 dogs, 12 chickens, 4 ducks, and baby goats on the way. So, I don’t think our cats flag us as crazy. Not saying we’re perfect and all that, but...

Haha yes! My husband and I always talk about that. They wear their crazy in their hair -- literally!

i guess that weeds out the undesireables

...and THAT is why they are on dating sites.. losers

Well, that is an extremely easy way to know who not to contact. It is a blessing.

Expand full comment

People are free to see themselves as they wish and some for which we can feel sorry for their confusion. However, the cognitive weakness of those so deeply mentally disturbed that they do not know the difference between their wish and physical reality raise the question of emotional stability, and, hence, not good hiring candidates. Further, it is inexcusable to punish anyone who refuses to recognize wishes as physical reality or mandate recognition of false pronouns, which are in fact lies, counter to physical reality.

I sure as hell wouldn’t hire someone who proudly proclaimed they were mentally ill
