Stating your pronouns in work email signatures
It is common for ASU professors to list their pronouns after their names in their work email signatures. Does this practice create an atmosphere of coercion for those who do not believe in the radical gender ideology being promoted? Will this practice by professors serve as a form of coercion against students who disagree but are intimidated by their professor’s practice? Would another religion or political opinion be equally welcome to be expressed in a work email signature?
The act of stating your pronouns promotes the belief that gender and biological sex are different. In this view, gender is a construct by which a society determines how the biological sexes must live. The radical gender position is that individuals should be free to determine their own nature and not be assigned their gender by another (parents, doctors, society).
This rejects the belief that God created man, male and female, in His image and that gender is an aspect of the moral law God has written on the heart of man. The moral law teaches both man and woman about how to live in their respective roles of being fruitful and multiplying, having dominion, and completing the Great Commission.
So Arizona State University, all its faculty and students, must adhere to your interpretation of the Christian faith or risk condemnation by Owen Anderson? An institution of higher learning funded (though only in small part) by the state of Arizona should be committed to "completing the Great Commission"? Really? This is the argument of a "philosopher"? Is this not height of intolerance and unbecoming of someone who calls themselves "Dr." at every opportunity?
I have failed to encounter a good argument for understanding gender separate from biological sex. The one in use now suggests it’s arbitrary. It’s not arbitrary but what is arbitrary is allowing people to change pronouns depending on how they feel each morning.
