And any organisation can hoist that ridiculous flag and tick a box on its social responsibility checklist.
A recent leaked internal survey of civil servants in Scotland revealed that the SNP had asked them all if they would be willing to specify their pronouns in their email signatures. Only 17% do, 25% might if they were asked, and 58% said they wouldn’t.

As Starmer rightly pointed out, anyone can chant a slogan. Plenty of people will do so under social pressure. But most people haven’t gone nearly far enough down the rabbit hole to deny that only a woman has a cervix. |
There’s a number of things at play in the wider debate however it is all being rolled into one and you’re either on their side or you aren’t. Pronouns isn’t really anything, costs nothing. I personally don’t use pronouns despite dealing with organisations who do. I have an obviously male name, I don’t see the point.
Do I want trans people to be able to go about their lives safely? Yes. Do I want people born male to compete in women’s sport? No. Trans rights shouldn’t erode women’s rights. Sex is a protected characteristic and isn’t a social construct the way gender is.
