Leave/me/alone!

It’s encouraging to see that the vast majority of Canadians are not completely out of their minds.

Of respondents, 84.9 per cent say they do not add gender pronouns to emails or share at meetings and 15.1 per cent say they do. Similarly, the majority of Canadians (85.4 per cent) do not believe adding pronouns should be compulsory.

And then there is the predictable response from the budding totalitarian set:

Canadians who do add their pronouns to emails and share in meetings think it should be required to do so: 58.8 per cent of those that share said it should be compulsory.

  1. I don’t even know how to begin to respond to someone who thinks that making inclusion of pronouns in one’s email signature compulsory is a reasonable thing to do. I’m thinking of adding the phrase “not eating the crickets” to my email signature as in…
    Stevo (not eating the crickets)

      1. There are fully 15% of Canadians who indicate “their pronouns”? You guys are farther gone (as a country) than I thought (and I lived in Canada, and then on the border on the US side, for years).

  2. Wait a minute! 6.7% of the people who don’t share their pronouns want it to be compulsory? How does that make sense?

    1. Southern pronouns, Youen’s and Ya’ll.

      Northern, Youeth’s and Cremepuff’s.

      Overheard Cussing in Washington DC.

      Up your Buttigeg.

      You* Son* of* a* Biden,
      Dam yourself.

  3. I can still remember when it was said, “Call me anything you want, just don’t call me late for dinner!” I guess when people start starving or freezing to death, priorities will correct themselves. As in “I would have called you for supper, your only meal of the day, but I couldn’t remember your pronouns, stupid!”

  4. marc in calgary, and my pronoun is “normal”

    unless you’re one of my kids, then you refer to me as “pops daddio”
    and I refer to them as “Pumpkin, Princessa, or Ben Man”

  5. I still don’t know how you can refer to a single person as they, them.. How are you supposed to have a relationship with a collective..
    I want nothing to do with any of them..

      1. There’s actually a real good case for a few of those pronouns: Police say a man pulled-over by highway patrol for driving alone in the carpool lane insists his pronouns are “they / them”.

        Likewise I read awhile ago that teen boys are declaring themselves “trans”, so that on their car insurance forms they can claim to be female – it’s good for a 25% discount on their premiums.

        And one item I picked out of a Reader’s Digest somewhere, was about a guy in a national park who was passing the bathrooms when he saw a long lineup – 25 or so – for the women’s. He went and joined the line, producing a certain amount of confusion in the ladies in the lineup:

        “Errr… you do know this is the lineup for the girls’ washroom?” to which he glumly answered,

        “Yeah – it looks like I chose a really crummy week to come-out.”

        It got a laugh…

  6. My pronouns are

    Good / Bye

    And if you piss me off enough, yours will be

    Was / Were

  7. I’m waiting for black folks to realize they can use the N-word as their personal pronoun.

    1. I wasn’t allowed to step inside Tim Horton’s or McDonald’s because of my vaccination status essentially making me a nigger. And entertainment media blacks can protest, but I have been more oppressed than any of them.

      I am a nigger.

      I am always going to use that….

  8. My pronouns are: sir/massah.

    Although I prefer not to use pronouns that describe how people think of themselves, but as others perceive them
    In which case dumbass/sh*thead would likely be most common.

    1. Respectfully suggest you replace “sir” with “suh”. It’ll cause more leftrash heads to explode.

      You’re welcome.

  9. And I think that the totalitarians who demand everyone do so should eliminate themselves from the human race. There! See? That game can be played many ways.

  10. Those that say it should be compulsory should be asked if they are personally willing to take up arms to force those to comply and risk retaliation or are they typical fascist cowards who hide behind the state with their pathological desires to control others.

  11. The best response I’ve heard yet to this nonsense is: if forced to indicate your pronouns, use “I/me/my/myself” which would render everything anyone writes or says about you in the third person utterly comical and absurd, e.g.:

    “I spoke with JJM this morning. I informed me that my pronouns are ‘I/me/my/myself’ and that I would not tolerate any deviation from my pronoun choice. So we must respect my choices and use them in any dialogue with me, whether spoken or written,”

  12. We now that 15.1% of the population works for one level of government or another. In truth I’d rather see compulsory spelling and punctuation enforced.

  13. My personal pronoun response to those that demand it:

    GO BLEEP YOURSELF!!!!
    In perpetuity!

    To those that demand MS or that I use their personal pronoun:
    Ignore them, turn around, walk away showing the soles of my feet.

    I do not wish them ill, I just prefer the company of others and I do not hold back my feelings just as they do not.

  14. I’ve heard it said several times that in last few years before societies fail, sexuality (and bizarre sexuality) becomes a major thing. This is CLEARLY happening all over the Western World.

    Do any of you follow The Duran? I watch their videos on Telegram & Rumble. Here’s the link to the latter: https://rumble.com/c/theduran

    If even half of what they’re saying is accurate, we’re about to fall into something much worse than a Depression. They call it a “Smash”. Only this will correct the Bizarro Woke’tards!

    1. You have to be an seven and a half foot long fifty-four inch wide gorilla for that one, Abby…!

      Never mind pronouns, they’re so passe now…

      What about adverbs? No?! Darn…

      I increasingly identify as getting royally pissed off, if that’s a help.

  15. My personal pronoun is:

    superillustriouswonderfulintelligentexaltedbenevolentimaginativemagicalone.

    To all on the left, make sure you spell it correctly.

    sarc (sort of)

  16. Pronouns are useful. If I see that a person has pronouns in their signature, I know they are either ass-kissing brown-nosers, or woke true believers. In all cases, that means no chit-chat, pleasentries or jokes. Do business and GTFO. Avoid.

    1. Exactly.

      I encourage them to wear it like a badge, so I can tell in an instant I’m dealing with a crazy person.

  17. I’ve tried (dude/bro), (here/there),(this/that), (how/why), (((oy/vey))) and no one has ever said a thing.

    No one even notices. Not even the pronoun people.

    It’s all white noise (sorry Brownian motion). As long as there’s text slash text inside brackets you may pass the rainbow curtain.

    1. Why do we need to pass the rainbow f**king curtain??
      I see pronouns used anywhere I assume they are an idiot.

  18. If someone asks your pronouns shouldn’t
    An appropriate reply be to say Shee-It
    in a loud voice?

  19. Did the Roman Empire end with such absurdity or have we outdone the Romans?

    Pronouns: He or She or It (Abbreviated: H’or’Sh’It)

  20. Do not assume that every electronic signature containing pronouns belongs to someone who believes in this nonsense. A member of my family works for a large European-based multinational company. It is a very generous and benign employer, but it is one that requires all employees to include their pronouns to the signatures of their corporate e-mails. Not all of their nearly 50,000 employees think much of this idea, but most of those who don’t will comply to avoid any conflict with head office.
