There are many things in today's world that I simply do not understand.
The whole pronoun issue is just one of those things. Seemingly this trend is going away now -- possibly because people are just sick of it ... I mean ... who thinks up this stuff? Do they have a real job? Too much time on their hands? It ranks right up there with self-righteously complaining about everything, but doing absolutely nothing to work toward making change for the better. It's stupid.
Case in point... I was recently invited to a "donor portal" which, I guess is the way some charities ask you for money now. A most pleasant letter was signed in bold print ... the signature followed by (she, her, hers) -- also in bold. Talk about shouting at me. Here's the thing. I don't care what pronouns of choice this person prefers, nor do I care whether (she, her, hers) is a woman, a man or any variation thereof. I cannot keep track of all of them anyway. My world is not about you and your pronoun preferences or about your gender concerns. In my opinion this person's pronouns should be (Me, Me, Me). (She, Her, Hers) certainly wants to be the center of attention. To think that Boomers are thought of as the Me Generation by some. Hmm....
Perhaps it is time for those so inclined to broadcast their pronouns, etc. to look at the world more outside of just themselves and their friends. There is a whole world out there. Am I wrong? Talk to me.
Needless to say I will be giving my donations to agencies that are more other oriented.
