Removing the transphobia, every company has their own style guide all employees are expected to follow. For example, in all company emails and other press material I'm expected to put the company name in all caps and to not use the Oxford comma. In the end, what I'm trying to say is - who gives a shit but bigots looking to be offended.
what kind of asshole forbids the use of the Oxford comma?

That's not what he was saying. He was saying somebody would say their preferred pronouns in a face to face conversation even to completely random strangers.

It is fine that you all are so obsessed with pronouns to the point where you have spent hours discussing it. I hope you and your pronouns get married and have a happy life together with your pronoun kids and your pronoun cars. I am sure you and your friend circle will have countless more hours discussing this and I hope every single conversation you have about pronouns is even better than the last.

But I don't care, will never care, nor do I want to participate in it while writing my emails.

Some people absolutely do that though. If they said that to you would you ignore them?

But the Oxford comma? That's a hill I would die on.

No, it wasn't your point, I'm genuinely feeling nauseous from frustration at this. I try to explain in the most painfully precise detail I can and the ways it can be maliciously twisted are legitimately making me feel dizzy when I try to type out the words correctly.
Nobody is changing their argument or twisting yours. Read the posts you're actually replying to. Nobody is supporting Jake Shields or his imaginary friend. I don't know why you're under the impression that Raikuro or I are against displaying pronouns. From my very first post in the topic, I've only been opposed to forcing people to display their pronouns.

Bigoted transphobic shitbags get upset when reading pronoun headers. That's great, and it's great when a company gives everyone the option to, so we can use them, normalize it, and transphobes can suck it up. But when these folks throw a temper tantrum, some well meaning companies, and well meaning people like you or hockeybub support the idea of making pronoun displays mandatory. I have explained in detail, repeatedly, why this is potentially extremely harmful. Not in a "you mean liberals turn people racist way," but in a way that directly and immediately harms trans and non binary people.

The only people actually upset about the pronoun thing are idiots that hate LGBTQ people and want them to go away. Stop getting offended on behalf of theoretical trans people in a theoretical world where you're forced to put pronouns on your work email.
Those idiots are the ones that get upset reading pronouns. But there absolutely are companies that flirt with the idea of making pronoun displays mandatory. It's not hypothetical. I've personally seen it in the context of nametags at conferences. Everyone attending had to select pronouns to display on their nametags. A nonbinary friend of mine had to select she/her, and wear that on their shirt displaying it to everyone. It was humiliating. They're fairly heavily female coded. Everyone reading that and making mental note of it will make it much harder to adjust later, if my friend is ever comfortable being out with said coworkers. It's likely there will be a lot more slips when adjusting, and each one can hurt.

There's only one person in this topic that's actually spreading bigotry, it's that jenny whatever who's carefully staying just vague enough to avoid getting modded. And nobody is actually engaging that person.

More likely scenario:

HR asked people to put their pronouns in their email signature if they want, dude has some weird hissy fit that led to his termination, if this is remotely true.

It's not true and no company would even say anything about pronouns in an email at all.

That was Pokmon.

The poor guy did nothing wrong, he was shy and awkward because he was going on live stream, and gave a nervous laugh when asked his pronouns. Everyone knows it was bullshit, with one individual being to blame for their out of all proportion response. It really doesn't reflect the feelings of the community as a whole. No one minds a bit of stumbling over pronouns, as long as there is no intention to cause offence.
