Even if this werent a blatantly transphobic attitude to have, because no, pronouns arent always self-evident, many names are ambiguous, and names that were once used for one gender frequently get used for another (for example: Aubrey, which used to be a name for men, now primarily used by women).
My name isn't Aubrey, and there will never be a need to put my pronouns in my e-mail.

Consider for a moment that not everything is about you.

I wish my workplace would do this, or at least suggest it, but its a conservative school culture where the higher ups get pissy if you do put your pronouns in your signature.

You could suggest it

Or just start doing it and see if it takes off

Apparently it's not always obvious to some people what gender I am when people read my name my real name at the end of an e-mail. I solved this by putting Mr in front of my name.
This is also a perfectly acceptable in the 'preferred pronouns' situation, even if you don't care that much about being super progressive.

I suppose to find out if this is still part of the 'I am trapped here by work for several years and am totally in the UK' gimmick you had?
