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.

A thread of a few of my blogposts about #lockdown and #shutdown - for all those (awake or not to the insidious script of #BigPharma, #BigData & #BigPhilanthropy) struggling with their #MentalHealth. How to keep sane:

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.
