I used to be a bleeding-heart heart liberal but the pronoun debate is urging me to invade Poland.
People will rebel, when you are told " you must think this and that " and " your opinion must be the same as mine or you are racist / sexist / homophobic / non-inclusive etc etc etc " people will push against it
it isnt helped that people can do this from the safety of behind a keyboard or screen
Hen (Swedish: [ˈhɛnː] (About this soundlisten)) is a gender-neutral personal pronoun in Swedish intended as an alternative to the gender-specific hon ("she") and han ("he"). It can be used when the gender of a person is not known or when it is not desirable to specify them as either a "she" or "he". The word was first proposed in 1966, and again in 1994, with reference to the Finnish hän, a personal pronoun that is gender-neutral, since Finnish does not have grammatical genders
You wouldn't refer to someone with mental health issues as mental. You don't refer to someone with a learning difficulty as retarded. We move on. We live and learn. Do I understand gender fluidity? Absolutely not. But then why would I? I've never experienced anything like that. If that's how someone feels and they'd prefer to be addressed as such, I have no problem with it.
I know a bloke that used to be called Bobby and then transitioned to female. More of a friend of a friend. We have to refer to her as Jennifer now. It's weird, and I slip up sometimes but I try to go along with it.
that's nothing to do with pronoun bullying by grievence merchants
I have heard people in discussions getting upset when a speakers says "you don't do that" and they take it personally.
The way to avoid it is to use the gender neutral "One" As in 'One doesn't so that', but if you use it in normal speech people think you are trying to be 'posh'.
In German they use the word "Mann" as gender neutral.
Look at Gina Carano for proof of that, she has been mercilessly trolled on twitter about it, once again, from the safety of behind a keyboard of screen

she posted it AFTER being harassed and Bullied for months
Once again she mentions EVERYDAY for MONTHSAfter months of harassing me in every way. I decided to put 3 VERY controversial words in my bio.. beep/bop/boop.”
so it does somewhat prove the pointI don’t think trans people would like all of you trying to force a woman to put something in her bio through harassment & name calling EVERYDAY for MONTHS. Such as “Racist” Transphobe” “Bitch” “Weirdo” “ I hope you die” “I hope you lose your career” “your fat, you’re ugly”.
I tend to agree with WDB sorry.
I believe that these topics are so divisive they’ve split demographics. I think that they are so polarising anyone that was moderate has hardened stances. What reason, be it brexit, gender or people expressing opinions more on social media etc has yet to be determined but I do find people’s options becoming hardened be that both left or right.
I think it comes down to (and works for all topics)
Does this affect you?
Does this affect you personally?
If either answer is no, then shut the **** up
Yeah I read the article, I don't believe her in the slightest.
You can write in caps all you want mate, you don't have a clue.

EVERY DAY FOR MONTHS
She started getting tweets THIS MONTH after supposedly liking a tweet which claimed people who use pronouns are weirdos, she then doubled down by claiming she's being bullied (read the tweets and make your own mind up, I don't see much bullying going on) and proceeded to mock pronouns entirely with the beep thing. Don't be a ****, if someone wants you to call them she/they/him etc then do it
she's a professional victim
