Just got a company wide email
Jun 16, 2021, 10:27 AM
|
|
Discussing our diversity (laughable) and videos to watch to share in pride month.
Also included was the fact that including your pronouns (he/him or she/her) is a way to share that you are an ally of the LGBTQ+ community
AITA for not feeling obligated to use my pronouns?
Fluffhead (very obvious he/him)
Followup question:
If I'm openly flaunting my pronouns am I a misogynist?
I feel it could be shown as a way of me pushing my white maleness on somebody

"he" or "she"?
Doesn't "he" automatically imply "him"?
Or is their a scenario that I'm not thinking of that could be "he/her"?

You’re searching for logic where there is none.

[ in reply to Why do you have say "he/him" or "she/her" instead of just ] |

One Same Smith stated that his pronouns are “they/them” because he clearly lacks an understanding of plurality. I’m convinced that the pronoun paradox has been trumped up by imposters, in an effort to muddy the waters being waked by those who identify as homosexual.

take it to the next level. Use Klingon pronouns.
Tell them you married your truck and refer to it as your wife.
Being a sane person in an insane world isn't any fun.
So make some new rules. They want diversity - give them some.

####, I was being funny, but there ARE Klingon pronouns
Jun 16, 2021, 11:07 AM
[ in reply to enthusiastically participate and pick something preposteous ] |

I say GO FOR IT.
Simple Pronouns
Just about all English pronouns have Klingon equivalents, though Klingon does not differentiate pronouns depending on whether the speaker uses the pronoun as a subject or an object. To clarify: In English two words mean "myself": I and me. One uses "I" only as a subject, and one uses "me" only as an object. In Klingon, the pronoun jIH, meaning "I/me" serves the same purpose that "I" and "me" do, and the speaker can use it as a subject or an object.
The prefix in front of each verb in a Klingon sentence denotes both the object and the subject of the sentence, but one can use the pronoun words in Klingon to supplement the prefixes, especially to rectify ambiguities produced by some of the prefixes that denote different objects and subjects depending on context. (see #Prefixes for an example of that)
Pronouns
bIH: they, them (for use with nonsentient objects)
chaH: they, them (for use with beings who can speak)
'e': that (referring to previous part of sentence, see below)
ghaH: he/she, him/her
jIH: I, me
maH: we, us
net: that (similar to 'e'; also: see below)
'oH: it
SoH: you (singular)
tlhIH: you (plural)

I don't ally with people based on who they bone. That sounds like a pretty stupid reason to ally with someone. And I'm not calling anyone they, unless it's a conjoined twin.
