The Mayor of London, Sir Sadiq Khan, appears to have removed his "he/him" pronouns off his X profile.Sir Sadiq, who has been a prominent opponent of the social media platform's creator Elon Musk and US President Donald Trump's "war on woke," previously used the "he/him" pronouns on his X account, which has 3.1 million followers, but they have suddenly vanished. "Looks like the tide is turning, and this type of virtue signaling is no longer trendy," Conservative contributor Chris Rose told X on Saturday after noticing the shift.Sir Sadiq is still using personal pronouns on his Bluesky account.

Many Left-wing users of X have moved to Bluesky in protest at Mr Musk’s changes to the site since he bought it in 2023.A spokesman for the Mayor of London has been contacted for comment.

Donald Trump has told employees at many of his government agencies to remove pronouns from the bottom of their email signatures.He has also sought to curb the use of diversity, equity and inclusion policies by the US government since he returned as president last month, and has described them as “radical and wasteful”.

Sir Sadiq is a vocal critic of Mr Trump and warned of “resurgent fascism” on the eve of his return to the White House.He said: “These are deeply worrying times, especially if you’re a member of a minority community. As historians and commentators increasingly find echoes of the 1920s and ‘30s in the present day, we cannot afford to throw in the towel.”

A spokesperson for the Mayor of London denied the removal of pronouns from his X account was permanent.He said: “This seems to be a technical error, which we’ll put right as soon as possible.”
