Everyone,
my company was bought last year by an American multinational. Before, we never had woke political content at all, but the hallmarks of woke regressive ideology have since started showing up: "pronouns" in signatures, celebration of leftist occurrences, and of course, "pride" month.
There are plenty of great resources online on how to deal with this, but I was wondering what were your suggestions. What I was thinking on top of my head was, asking politely to the sender of various propaganda email to not include me in mailings of socio-political content; and if asked further, clarify that initiatives of clear ideological nature are divisive and that I disapprove of them.
For the record I enjoy considerable job security, it is not easy to replace my position, and it would be extremely easy for me to find job elsewhere if I wanted to. My line manager knows I'm a conservative and backed me when I complained about "pronouns" in signatures.
So, how do you deal with this sort of nonsense yourselves?
For some time I used emails with random selection of pronouns, including but not limited to:
Beep / bop / boop
Need / Cof / fee
He-Man / Master of the Universe
I'm / a / Man
Stop / this / nonsense
sudo / apt / get
This / is / silly
...but I was eventually asked to stop. I did however, request to not be asked again to comply with suggestions of ideological nature. If they bring this up again, I will start using Cake / Cakes / Cakeself - because this, as everyone knows, is a real gender that people identify as.
Go with Master/Masters and watch them seethe.

Insist on 2nd person singular pronouns, and they’ll immediately trip up on it. 3rd person pronouns are for talking anout you, 2nd person are for when taking to
