Why do I have to call them by their own neopronouns when I have much better names for them?
I refer to everyone in writing as “they”.
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 have one...my preferred pronnoun is ve...
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.

If you don't want to be called he/she him/her or they/them... Then I'll just call you snowflake or one of the few words in Spanish I know that decorum prevents me from typing here. I figure snowflake is gender neutral. You want to be gender-stupid, you can be gender-stupid. Know that I am laughing at you a little bit every single time I say/type it.
If I work with someone from Russia, Germany, or India and they don’t speak perfect English, I will get in trouble if I express unhappiness with how they talk. They’re not perfect. It’s OK. If there is a problem, the problem is me and my intolerance for their language and cultural differences. I better change. Or else.
If I work with a transgender, and I don’t use pronouns perfectly, I will get in trouble when they express unhappiness with how I talk. If there is a problem, the problem is me and my language and cultural difference. I better change. Or else.
I’m supposed to accept everyone else’s opinions but they’re expected to be intolerant of mine. Got it.
How bout GR’s. Gods Rejects.

My pronoun from here after is Go EF Yourself.
Gina Carano got a target on her back when she added beep/bop/boop as her pronouns. While she wasn’t serious about that, her detractors eviscerated her over it, to the point that Disney canned her.
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.’
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.
