Asked for pronouns at a meeting? Do be helpful and list them *all*. Obviously the meeting can't start, safely, until absolutely everyone does all this. Remember that, in English, there are 29 personal pronouns:
Subject/Object/Possessive/Reflexive; Singular/Plural;
1st/2nd/3rd...
Person; Masculine/Feminine. So mine are: I, me, my, mine, myself, we, us, our, ours, ourselves, you, you, your, yours, yourself, you, you, your, yours, yourselves, he, him, his, himself, they, them, their, theirs, themselves. Of course, there may not be time left for much agenda.
You shouldn't just rattle them off. No. Speak slowly, explaining each one, carefully. Encourage people to take notes. "I, that's my 1st person subject pronoun; me, that's my 1st person object pronoun...". This is very important. To do otherwise is literally killing trans people.

The @UKLabour @LibDems & @TheGreenParty have, clearly & explicitly, supported male entryism into female safe space, gender stereotyping, erasure of lesbian & gay identity, sterilisation of kids, silencing academics and have ignored the violent harassment of #GC women. Women vote.
Scotland is the exception that proves the rule. @theSNP has halted the executive rush to self-ID, has high-profile gender-critical feminists @joannaccherry & @JoanMcAlpine and allies of debate such as @glasgowcathcart. @scottishlabour has too but is considered a UK branch office.
I mean no disrespect to @scottishlabour who have had a hard night and I admire @LabourRichard for supporting debate on this issue. I simply mean the Scottish electorate have not differentiated them from the main UK party that like the other 2 bans debate and excludes dissenters.
