"That'll be the day."

Showing that it is never possible to be too self-centered, forward-looking LGBTQ+ people are bending the English language toward their navels for gazing.
In the late 1970s, at a Peter, Paul & Mary concert, Paul Stookey noted how American magazines once had big names, with scope, such as Life or National Geographic. The scope shrank with People magazine. Then, in 1977, a new magazine appeared: Us. With this trajectory, Paul predicted, the next magazine would have only a reflective sheet inside. It would be called Me. Based on the New York Times article about self-referential “neopronouns,” it’s clear that Paul’s prediction has come to pass and then some.
When I read in PowerLine about “neopronouns,” a trend that sees LGBTQ+ people essentially personalizing their pronouns, I thought it was a joke. It’s not. Instead, there is indeed an article entitled “A Guide to Neopronouns: Are you a person, place or thing? We have good news.”
In my world, there are only a very few personal pronouns, and they’re the classics: I/Me/We, You, He/Him, She/Her, It, They/Them/Their – that kind of thing. However, that’s not the case among a certain subset of Americans, most notably the LGBTQ+ crowd.
A few years ago, we all used to laugh at the creative pronouns that so-called “non-binary” people concocted to avoid both human biology and the traditional He/Him or She/Her pronouns.

No, no. Let me explain. A “neopronoun” is what happens when people become so extraordinarily self-centered that they believe the entire English language revolves around them – not them as a collective (all gays, all lesbians, all anything else), but “them” as in every single person.

Why do I have to call them by their own neopronouns when I have much better names for them?
My neopronoun is Czar or Caesar.
I refer to everyone in writing as “they”.
All of them demand you call them MASTER.
My name prefix in Develop is “His Royal Highness”. I get some really cool emails during testing
"That'll be the day."
We need to have a couple of neopronouns: “Look at me!,” or perhaps, “It’s all about me.” A little cumbersome, but they tell you all you need to know.
I’ll just call them ‘assholes’.
My pronoun is “sir”
Next will be people having signs, like Prince, instead of names.
Instead of “he, she, or it,” I just call them shit. Prevents confusion.
Peter Yarrow of PP&M:
Convicted sex offender who admitted molesting a 14-year-old girl.
“A 14-year-old girl and her 17-year-old sister went to Yarrow’s hotel room in Washington, DC, in 1970 seeking an autograph, it was reported at the time. Yarrow, then about 32, answered the door naked. He made sexual advances that stopped short of intercourse.”
If someone feels the need to inform me as to which pronouns to use when addressing them then we aren’t continuing the conversation. Simple.

I identify as vaccinated...
My prefered neopronoun is “Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch”. That’s actually the name of a town in Wales. I’ve never been there, but I strongly identify with it - so strongly that I demand that all liberals use it when referring to me.
I’m thinking that in a prior lifetime I was mayor of the town, or something like that.
Queer people no doubt have formed a separate and distinct culture. It is entirely fitting and appropriate that they develop their own language. The more isolated and insulated they become, the better. They are doing rational, decent people a favor by doing this as are the woke corporations that are clearly identifying themselves.
