I know trans people that use different pronouns with people they haven't come out to and/or know are transphobic, but can't cut out of their life for whatever reason (ex: close family members). I've never heard of it happening at work, but say for example one of these people saw you in your work uniform.
Sounds like the easiest thing is to just...not include any pronoun? This has been a very old practice by now. Then there's nothing to switch, and you can use ordinary paper, which is much cheaper.
Some people do prefer different pronouns throughout the day. It's not common because it's difficult to communicate, but if it becomes easy to do then it may become more common and noticeable.
Well, it is, since "identities" of things (which from the language point of view are just designations of a referent, really) are significantly less fixed than a grammatical category. So changing it tends to be much weirder.
>Switch between images, pronouns or secret identities at the push of a button
Sincere question: is this poking fun at people using pronouns, or do some people change their pronouns throughout the day?
