Gender Pronouns at Work

[towser]

At work I've recently noticed email signatures appearing with gender pronouns being added ( he / him, she / her etc...) and to be honest I haven't a clue what's going on. I'll be in a meeting with someone with such a signature and their gender is obvious to me.

I'm now a little wary that I'm unwittingly walking in a minefield and could say or do the wrong thing.

Can anyone enlighten me as to what's going on here?

Ah OK, maybe sticking with names is the safest thing to do.

Also recently had training on micro aggressions, I honestly think I should live in a cave on my own.

I like to think of myself as open minded, kind and fair....but you really start to question yourself.
