Nothing wrong with it, but why would a manager prefer to interview a campaigner for FOO over someone else, all else being equal.
The advice is how to get a salary when you need it. Take off anything even slightly controversial.

What do people on HN mean when they say
> Campaigner for pronouns?
Specifically, in a concrete day to day sense? Asking for the smallest of efforts, the most minimal of inclusive actions, in the form of "putting a pronoun on your slack profile" doesn't really feel like a _campaign_ to me. We've spent more time here talking about it then it takes to add it to the profile during the "campaign"!

Do you disagree with the statements:

Anyone campaigning, or proud of campaigning, on their CV will get fewer callbacks. It's unfortunate but true.
Are people on HN getting railed at work with pronoun campaigns? We had one and it was honestly _the easiest thing in the world_
"Hey Daft, can you add pronouns"
*15 seconds later
"Done!"
What's the honest holdup with making the work environment more inclusive to non-binary or fluid people, there are a _lot_ of them. We already call people by their preferred titles, preferred nicknames, why the hangup on pronouns?
