I've just noticed that a couple of Nexties have their preferred pronouns under their name. I first saw this on communications at work (mostly from HR) before I retired last year. Will the others be following-on from this or should we address them as they/them? I believe that addressing people by the wrong pronoun may become a hate crime punishable by imprisonment under a Labour government so we better get in practice.

Itโs not for me to tell anyone anything on this matter. I merely reported my observations and posed a question. Iโll keep my views to myself, I think ๐ค๐
