Email activism has been going on a lot longer than 2 years. 10 years ago people were putting a little blurb at the bottom of emails that said something like "consider your responsibility to the environment before printing this email".
This is just the latest version which now conforms to the latest social outrage.
Well, at least that particular message had a purpose in reminding potential older users (Greatest Generation, older Silents) that they don't have to print out everything in order to go read it at an easy chair or something. That was a habit some of them actually had. It just became a relic as that sort of old-school mindset .. died off.
This pronoun nonsense is just kindergarten-level nonsense with no purpose at all beyond annoying the fuck out of even the semi-sane.
