    But it shouldn’t though? In a reasonable society, using neopronouns isn’t any different than using someone’s name. Yeah, I acknowledge that society isn’t reasonable some times.

      Shouldn’t means nothing. People shouldn’t own other people and yet gestures broadly at history

      Calling someone what they want to be called is just being decent. Like your name is Thomas but you’d like to be called Tommy. Neopronouns aren’t names, they’re an attempt to force speech to fit the unique desires of the person demanding use of said neopronouns. Using they/them is a perfectly reasonable compromise.

      Which means they fail at being what pronouns are: a quick replacement for a piece of information that otherwise has to be asked for
