    you would also have the problem when saying …

    You would have a problem but it would not be the same problem as in my example. The problem here is not because of the choice of pronoun.

      Well it kinda is. Pronouns are like names, in the sense that we use them to describe to whom we refer.

      They are a non injective function on the name set.

      The restriction you would like to make is that the function is not multivalued. But it is. As an example, Andrea is a name that is usually associated with a female person, but it is a normal name for male people in Italy.

      We allowed people to be named whatever they wanted (or their parents wanted), so why not also let them choose whatever pronoun they prefer?

        I disagree.

        Pronouns are like names

        Pronouns are not names.

        allowed

        That’s the second time you’ve used the word “allow”. That’s very telling.

          Yes, that is why I wrote “like”. They serve the same functionality.

          second

          That is the first time you wrote second. That’s very telling.
