Air Force Backtracks, Personal Pronouns in Email Signatures

The Air Force says it's again allowing airmen and civilian employees to put their preferred personal pronouns in their email signatures and correspondence, backtracking on a Trump administration restriction after recognizing that a law exists protecting the practice.

The --------- pretend to believe in freedom, especially freedom of speech but had no problem denying it to transgender people! Clue to them, if you can deny freedom to one group then you don't actually believe in freedom.

Telling people they can't put them in is dumb... and for most people putting them in is performative.

"Telling people they can't put them in is dumb..."

99 out 100 things that Trumpy and his maga maroons say or do are in the best case dumb, and in the worst case are criminally negligent.

#6 on the flip, telling people they HAVE to put them in is dumb too.

I don't really see the purpose of pronouns,
When we could just do this:
Signed,

"#6 on the flip, telling people they HAVE to put them in is dumb too."

Yes, but telling strangers what they have to do, is the only way conservatives can make sense of the world.

True freedom, like choosing your own gender, is so alien to conservative that it terrifies them.
Absolutely terrifies them to the point they are convinced society will collapse if we give people that amount of freedom.

Showing respect for another human being is dumb? Well then color me dumb and I won't be intimidated by --------- into disrespecting people who don't adhere to their narrowminded worldview.

It's past time for EVERYONE to start loudly saying F*** you to Trump

#10 Your saying that we should be compelled to how we refer to ourselves... if I don't want my email sig to have my pronouns, why should I be forced to? That shows respect exactly how? Why do I need to be intimidated into an action to make someone else feel better?

"if I don't want my email sig to have my pronouns, why should I be forced to?"

If you do want your email sig to have your pronouns, why should it be forbidden?

Because that's what Trump was doing, and that's the mistake the Air Force is correcting here.

"Why do I need to be intimidated into an action to make someone else feel better?"

Because you're an ------- who can't behave like a decent human being unless you're required to?

"That shows respect exactly how?"

So according to you, there's no disrespect whether if I call you "Sir" or "Little Missy."
