If you keep your dog on a reserve she can’t get to it.

The reason things can be censored in schools is because of the "bong hits 4 Jesus" case that went to the Supreme Court who said the school taking it down didn't violate their freedom of speeech because "it could reasonably seen as promoting drug use at a school event".

Fucking stupid case because if I recall it was at a parade for the Olympic torch coming through their town (doesn't sound like a school event to me) and was not on school property.

Just a kid who happened to go to school being harassed, outside of school, by a principal at a public parade in their town, for holding a silly sign.

So what is there a caveat to 1A that says, "Congress can make no law [...] unless that speech or expression may reasonably be seen as promoting drug use"?

What a bullshit country run by octogenarian Christians who just won't leave people the fuck alone.

Thou shouldst do as thou pleases.

Oh that is absolutely the intention, but who doesn't like logical extreme

I actually looked up the standard and it is worded in a way that doesn't explicitly prohibit any specific thing. It just gives a list of things that can be included and says anything else is prohibited. That way they are not discriminating. They are just creating a formatting standard.

I love this. It screams "Why use lot word when few word do trick."

Yeah no pronouns in emails ever again. That's way more fun lol

Just replace the pronouns.

"Hi. Steve was wondering if Steve could go ahead and start Steve's next project since Steve's current project is now in review? Steve would be working with Kevin on Steve's next project and Steve knows that Kevin is wrapping up Kevin's project this week so Steve and Kevin could start next week"

Doesn't that sound so much more professional? 🙄

It is important for cis people to do so for one important reason on top of what you said, if only trans people need to put their pronouns in their profiles is just another way to identify them.

If everyone does it, nobody feels awkward about doing it.

I'm one of these, my name is definitely male but when you read it it's really easy to confuse with the female version. It doesn't help that it's really rare in my generation while the female version is much more popular. All this resulted in me getting misgendered on a regular basis. A few examples:

• as a teenager, I won a prize with a monetary award. The check was for the female version of my name.
• when I got my first house, I signed up ONLINE for the electric utility. The invoice ended up being addressed to the female version of my name. I sure as heck didn't make a mistake in my own name when signing up, so someone over there must have "corrected" my name
• I once went to a week-long course, where we each were assigned an individual room, but bathrooms and showers were shared across all rooms on that floor. I was assigned a room on the ladies' floor, which took me a while to realize as I thought it was just mixed-gendered.
• and that's without counting the hundreds of times teachers took attendance. I'd say at least half of them got it wrong.

Anyway, I thought pronouns were a bit of a weird thing for trans and non-binary people, but as a very cis man who's had issues with people reading my name wrong, I put my pronouns in my signature now.
