As a member of LGBTQ I actually agree. I dont think that we need extra pronouns for people to make them different. If you don't have a gender, then you simply cant be human because thats what defines you. That being said, I wish the best for anyone that wants to be themselves. ❤

Normally, this excessively was condemned, by in all honesty the previous Human Rights Council press secretary, extremist, and essayist Charlotte Clymer, who reproved Musk and advised him that focuses can be deducted for practices like hostile tweets from organization CEOs.
Not sure what made you wake up today and think "you know what, I'll shit on people's pronouns", but that's kinda the opposite of LGBTQ inclusivity. Thank goodness you apparently have HR personnel in place who know what they're doing. You should ask them to brief you.
