Do you think these people do get offended?
Isn't it done to avoid awkwardness and embarrassment in people who may not be aware?
If they didn't get offended easily then they wouldn't need to do it would they?
How have we managed for the past god knows how long these people have had dual gender names?
As I said it's not a problem, I don't find it offensive, I just find it somewhat odd and unnecessary and see it as load of ball ox, and it being weaponised for those who are easily offended.
Speaking of the easily offended type (nothing to do with gender pro nouns), I had an engineer offshore, and it had been planned for ages that the engineer would be leaving the platform on the Friday as he had his brothers wedding to attend on the Sunday (they generally don't do flights on a weekend), anyway got to the Friday and the customer bumped him off the flight list, my guy wasn't very happy. The only way of contacting aviation is via email. So my email was
"Dear Aviation,
We currently have an engineer on your "insert rig name" platform, his name is "insert name".
It has been planned for some time that our engineer must come off today as he had prior personal committments. Please see attached emails with you copied in as proof of this.
Please do everything within your power to ensure he is removed from the platform today, even if you have to divert a flight from another rig, as is known is possible in special circumstances.
My engineer is greatly disappointed at this late motion from yourselves and we need it rectified ASAP, and we wish for it to not sour future relationships between ourselves."
The email I got back was
" Please do not use that tone of language, I find it rude and offensive, the flights will stay as they are "
I ended up getting the mobile number of the ladies boss in the end and getting him to sort it, he didn't feel the email was offensive, and apologised on his staff members behalf.
Our engineer did make it on the flight.
I imagine that this is the sort of person that feels the need to put pro nouns at the end of her name.
Also captain nemesis losing his poop over it as people are discussing this topic proves that the sort of people that believe in this are rather easily offended and start foaming at the mouth as soon as someone has an alternative opinion to that of theirs.
