Sir Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, has removed his “he/him” personal pronouns from his profile on X.
Sir Sadiq, who has been a vocal critic of the social media platform’s owner Elon Musk and Donald Trump, the US president, and their “war on woke”, had previously used the “he/him” pronouns on his X account where he has 3.1 million followers, but they have now disappeared.
“Looks like the tide is turning and this type of virtue signalling is no longer trendy,” Conservative contributor Chris Rose said on X on Saturday after spotting the change.
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.
