school is a great atta boy tho, tons of feelings of accomplishment and a massive amount of debt for usually meaningless and useless knowledge

I'd go back to the example I gave of the conference where it really made no fucking difference. Save time? I guess. I don't see the need to announce it period. How often do you speak with someone and direct one of these pronouns at them? You don't walk up to a girl, asking her to help you find an address/item and say "Can she help me find [blank]?" You say "you." Just like in this post, my responses are towards "you" not "he" or "she."

The only other time would be if you're talking about them to someone else. Maybe they're in earshot, maybe not.

It also applies to sir/ma'am, ladies/gentlemen, speaking in a group setting with numerous people i.e. a conference and referencing another person, Mr. Or Mrs./Miss. Etc.

Weird hill to climb on and be annoyed by. Like it takes 0 extra energy to not be a dick but ok.

So if Fred from my example doesn't want to be called lady or gentleman, and you're making an overall announcement, are you just supposed to say "People!" Cool. Still dumb.

I attend a multitude of meetings with owners, consultants, City officials, etc. and I can't think of a single time I've used sir/m'am, ladies/gentlemen, or had anyone introduce themselves to me and declare the pronouns they would like to be addressed.

I'm not sure why you think it's so odd that I find it annoying. It's a weird thing to declare, especially as a first impression with someone, that has little relevance to how someone actually speaks to you directly.

Why do you only see like 10 people's shit on Facebook now, I don't understand

Edited your post, cool.

I already stated I don't care if you'd like to be addressed a certain way. I think declaring it outright when you introduce yourself is annoying. If someone does it, I don't immediately use whatever pronoun I want to address them. Not sure why I'm a dick.

White chocolate is terrible and shouldn't be made.

[D44kpunk]

Milkster is insecure, so are people who get anxiety if you call them the wrong pro noun. It's pretty simple

[AoE]

Holy shit dude, fuck yes! Super proud of you bro.

Thanks brother.
