Has the world gone mad?

A very condescending response totally devoid of understanding arrived this morning in reply to a very cross email I’d sent regarding public transport changes. The obviously male name at the end was followed by he/him/his. Necessary? Not at all.

I'm afraid it is people like your beloved family member, who have led to employees being asked to publically declare their preferred pronouns.

Perhaps "John" is on a genderfluid journey other people find confusing because he still has prominent breasts or is visibly pregnant.

What?

No, it’s evolving as it always has.
I’m never offended. I just tick the box that applies to me personally, don’t see the issue 🤷‍♀️

A gender neutral dog. Hilarious. Can you imagine the dog's owner phoning the vet to make an appointment for "Biscuit" to be "fixed."
The receptionist asks the sex of the dog.
Owner "They are Gender Neutral."
Receptionist "We castrate males and spray females. Which is it to be?
What does the owner say? Answers on a postcard ...

I can't wait until someone asks me what sex my dog is! I'm ready with the answer

I meant spay not spray!

Reading the list of pronouns just brought back sitting in the French lesson classroom and reciting a list of pronouns and their postion before the verb...I think. Me/te/se/nous/vous/le/la/les/lui/leur/y/en. Is that correct? I have just woken up!
I can almost hear our chanting voices. Sixty plus years ago.
