Have you all noticed that everybody, especially academics, are now specifying what their "pronouns" are - even normal heterosexual non-transgender people.
e.g "So and so is a Phd in ethnic studies, and his pronouns are he/him/his"
WTF?!
This is not something that people ever did before. This LGBT madness is out of control and has got to stop.
Yes, I've noticed that pronouns are sometimes specified in higher education today, and it doesn't bother me in the slightest. I refer to people however they wish and am grateful when they give me a heads up that their identification does not conform to the usual expectations.

I would just laugh, slap them (gently, of course) on the back and say "That's a good one"
Who cares what they think their pronouns are. These people have lost their minds. Truly.
I don't mind referring to transgender by their preferred pronouns. I'll call Rupaul a "she" if that what he wants.
But what's changing is now everybody is being pressured to specify what their pronouns are. Some think it's no longer polite to assume what gender a person is so everyone should specify what "their pronouns" are. Look at people's Linkedin profiles. Regular folks are specifying their pronouns next to their title.
Nobody who is not transgender should be specifying their pronouns.
That's crazy. The whole world does not have to change to accommodate transgender people.
Or I might say, my pronouns are "pffffft " (farting sound), make a couple of loud belches, or make a real phlegmy throat clearing sound while holding out my hand and looking them in the eye whilst giving them a friendly smile.

Cannot say that I've noticed anyone specifying what their pronouns are.

So what -- it takes all of a half second.
It's not what people did -- and most of us will still not have to do it.

I’ve noticed it, but do we need a law against it?
Seems to me that conservatives cannot stand it if they aren’t enraged about something.
I'm failry liberal in comparison to this site and I recently sat in a sensitivity training session for a college. When the topic of using they, them or 'it' came up I put my foot down. I told the trainer that I would respectfully address someone by their position or relationship to my jo- professor, student, 'end-user,' visitor, etc but that referring to someone as them or it would have gotten me beaten by my parents- my mother in particular. She even acknowledged that those particular pronouns would be fairly disrespectful in a number of settings.
