Should I Provide My Preferred Pronouns When Asked by a Judge During Jury Duty?

#STRaskStand to Reason

Questions about whether we should provide our preferred pronouns during jury duty when a judge asks for them and how to respond to a Christian who says it’s kind to use a person’s preferred pronouns and that not using them is unkind, unloving, and judgmental.

* When a judge asks me to provide my preferred pronouns in a courtroom during jury duty, is that the wrong place to resist providing them?

* How should I respond to a Christian who says it’s kind to use a person’s preferred pronouns, that by not doing so I’m being a hypocrite, unkind, unloving, and judgmental, and that not all translations of the Bible say God made male and female?
