      Of course it’s daft to mandate what people can and can’t put in their email footers but I don’t get why people put pronouns in footers.

      I’m cis male and he/him. Others can call refer to me as it/them or she/her if they wish.

      I dislike bananas but I don’t put that in my email footer.

      I haven’t seen it in a while anyway. I thought it was a fad from the late 10s

            Is your dislike of bananas an important part of your identity, both personally and how you are treated by society at large? Does making it known that you dislike bananas either verbally or through your appearance lead to a realistic possibility of facing abuse and opression, not limited to potential loss of livelihood or life?

            If not, perhaps, you can see how the two things aren’t very comparable.
