I know a guy who saw skin tone bandages at a school and lost his mind. He ranted about it for days. People I know still refer to him as the "skin tone bandage guy"
Believe it or not, there are a number people who are "upset at pronouns in email guys" who lose their minds over this and its actually a public service to identify people with anger issues before they do real harm
This is why those policies exist. If everyone has their pronouns in their bio/email, the people with uncontrolled anger issues don't have clear targets.
Assuming everyone with an opinion contrary to your own has uncontrolled anger issues is probably a pathology. Maybe get that looked at.
There's no assumptions. The guy was red faced and ranting for days over. Because he saw bandaids marketed at diversity.
