It is indeed a queer time we are in. A year or so ago Boy George called such pronoun identification as a ‘modern form of attention seeking.’
If my 80’s self could get in a time machine and visit me now he would be baffled by my statement that ‘on issues of gender identity I stand with Boy George.’
I demand that leftists refer to me as the numerical expression of pi. They better address me by my entire name if they want to say anything to me!
Postmodernism believes in socially constructed selves, an idea which was first developed by Jaques Lacan in the 60's. For him, selfhood is nothing but a fleeting, unstable, incomplete, and open-minded mess of desires which cannot be fulfilled. Our identity is the result of social factors.
Was that a town featured on Michael Palin’s “Confessions of a Train Spotter”?
Brilliant! I’ll culturally appropriate that but multiply it by the square root of -1 so nobody gets us confused.
It is y'all for one, all y'all for many.

OK, as long as you multiply it by (i), the square root of -1, so no one gets us confused with each other.
For those who insist upon using post-modern pronouns, I prefer either His Excellency or His Holiness for both the subjective and objective third-person pronouns. I also request that anybody who insists upon post-modern pronouns use Your Excellency or Your Holiness as the second-person pronoun when addressing me.
Those things works too.
I think, upon reflection, a phrase like “Smarter than thou” would be better than Czar or Caesar. Or a non-word that was unpronounceable, Cyshtectionson
Strange times we are living in now. Self-mutilariin used to be considered a form of insanity, but a dude that cut off his own pecker is in charge of the health department. But in addition to that insanity now we are allowing nutjobs to rewrite our language. Go figure.
