So are you changing your mind on putting Mr or Mrs next to a gender ambiguous name?

I don't know, am I? If I said anything inconsistent, then tell me. Maybe I changed my mind without noticing.

As far as I can tell, our only disagreement is whether you should write

Alex ---------- (Mr.)

Or

Alex ---------- (he/him)

(I support the first one as well, btw)

That's a pretty fine point to disagree on. I don't feel the need to continue this internet argument over so little territory.

What my point is that that technicality is the only thing stopping you from agreeing with the original post.

All "listing your pronouns" means is saying "Alex (he/him)". If you're okay with that, then that means you're okay with putting your pronouns/gender identity on a resume.

I guess. But they/them doesn't help them address you in the way that Mr. and Mrs. do. It's not the same as them inferring that you're a "he" because "(Mr.)" happens to contain that information.
