NASA Goddard Does Not Want You To Use Your Pronouns

Keith’s 5:50 pm EST note: Just got this from NASA PAO – and no I did not ask them to comment since I knew they’d send me something that makes my brain hurt. And they did.
“Afternoon, Keith. I’m not sure whether you reached out to us for official comment, but below is a statement about the pronoun topic you posted about today, attributed to Steve Shih, NASA Associate Administrator for Diversity and Equal Opportunity:
“Through an effort to create a more inclusive workplace, NASA recently completed an IT project at Goddard Space Flight Center that allowed approximately 125 employees to test the option of including their gender pronouns in NASA’s email display fields — which currently includes each employee’s name, center, and an organizational code. The learnings from this test will be used to inform the advancement of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.
“NASA is fully committed to supporting every employee’s right to be addressed by their preferred name and pronouns. All NASA employees currently have the option and flexibility to include their gender pronouns in their customized email signature blocks. This option remains unchanged and is supported by NASA leadership so that employees can share their gender identities and show allyship to the LGBTQIA+ community.”
