Similarly, I'm in an environment where I'm not strongly pressured in this regard - others have put pronouns in their signatures, I just haven't, and no one has commented. If they ever do, I plan to tell them that I consider my identity as too much of a personal thing to be disclosed in an email signature... see what they make of that. I'm sure it would be intolerant to force someone to "disclose their identity" if they didn't feel comfortable, right?

True, and I'm certain I could have handled it better. Which is why Jeff's guide will be so valuable!
