Summary
Federal employees at multiple agencies were ordered to remove pronouns from email signatures by Friday, following executive orders signed by Donald Trump to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.
Agencies including the CDC, Department of Transportation, and Department of Energy issued directives citing the new policy.
Some employees expressed frustration, with one CDC worker calling it unprecedented.
The Office of Personnel Management also instructed agencies to disable pronoun prompts in email systems, marking another step in Trump’s broader rollback of DEI initiatives.
Imagine using “He” or “She” like a typical American…
I just use 他 (pronounced tā), gender neutral, unlike English lolol
One pronoun to rule them all!
他 is “he.” Iirc it was the only pronoun until the 20th century, but now there is 她 for “she” and 它 for “it.” They are all pronounced the same though, so your joke works when pronounced out loud.
Because western influence added culture wars 😭
他 (he/she), 它 (it), 祂 (for deities). Long ago, three pronouns existed togerther in Harmony. Then, everything changed when the Eight Nation Alliance attacked.
We have gender neutral terms too. “They/them”. English or no English, Trump would force you to pick one.
