Why I don't specify pronouns

The author discusses why they don't display preferred pronouns on their GitHub profile and why they think others shouldn't either. They argue that remembering pronouns for everyone can be inconvenient and may exclude neurodivergent individuals who struggle with contradictory grammar and common sense. The author also believes that displaying pronouns can impose a set of ideology on others, similar to demanding the removal of globes due to a belief in a flat earth. They think it's better to use common sense and not follow every trend or hype. The author then explores the topic of narcissism in the workplace, citing its negative effects on stress levels, aggression, and counterproductive behaviors. They suggest that some modern politics may justify narcissistic behavior and that hiring managers should be aware of narcissists' ability to make favorable first impressions during job interviews. The author concludes by asking readers to share their experiences and opinions on the topic.
