Using pronouns isn't a "problem" though, it's that people genuinely don't care.
I don't care very much if I'm honest. I've never interacted with someone who informed me that their pronouns were not the usual ones.
People genuinely do care considering Jordan Peterson's entire career is based on the whole "you can't force me to use your pronouns" bullshit that no one was trying to force him to do in the first place.
So you're saying that the loonys care.
Loony for. Loony against. Twins, basically.
No, I'm saying bigots and assholes care. You can be sane and be a bigot and/or an asshole. And there a huge number of such people.
And if you mean that people who know what their gender is are loony and would prefer it if people didn't get it wrong, you are probably loony yourself.
They're both loony.
You're loony yourself if you think someone consistently calling you by the wrong gender every time they talk to or about you wouldn't be very rude.
Since that is totally irrelevant to what we are talking about, no I don't.
Nonsense. You are simply avoiding my point.
Your point seems to be than anyone who cares about repeatedly being called "she" when they're a man is crazy rather than just a man who doesn't want to be called "she" all the time.
You are still avoiding my point.
That's pretty weak.
I just said what I thought your point was. If that isn't your point, what is it?
I seriously doubt that.
"I seriously doubt that" was your point?
