Obviously Jesse Powell isn't right for the CEO position but I do have a tiny bit of sympathy because I refuse to put my preferred pronouns in my profile. I think it's an invasion of privacy to force me to announce to the whole world my gender identity. Friends and coworkers know on a need-to-know basis.

I don't think anyone is being forced to add their gender identity to any profile. Powell seems to have questioned the inclusion of the option to add them at all.
Some places do place pressure on you to do so if what I read on the internet is to be believed
That makes it sound like you have never experienced it firsthand. I haven't either, I'm inclined to believe it is a myth
