Or use scare quotes.
But I’m trying to think of an example of when, in ordinary conversation, we use gendered pronouns about the person we are speaking to. For example, “you” and “yours” are not gendered. But I wouldn’t use “his”, “hers”, “he”, “she”, “they”, “them”, etc. unless I was speaking to someone about someone else.
No; it's worse than that: it was a federal Title IX complaint, by the district!
You are correct. When speaking directly to those folks a nongender pronoun would be used. I had assumed these misgendered folks felt misgendered when someone was speaking about the offended person in a way that implied a gender specific identity that did not match that person’s ideation.
Someone, on this site, mentioned that in the middle ages, some folk considered themselves to be made of glass. Quite interesting that delusional thinking just possibly appropriates any current fad or concept. Other examples could be messianic complexes, Napoleon complexes, people who confess to any crime they read about, people who impersonate doctors, policemen, businessmen,

The only thing that will stop this woke idiocy is starving the people behind it.
The ones that dont peddle it will find teaching jobs in the marketplace.”
Yeah. There’s no bargaining with these people. They are beyond reason. Cut off their support.
I have been preaching this for many years.
I was thinking a teacher who wanted a head start on the Memorial Day holiday.
Betcha...
So the kids referred to the one student with a singular term instead of a plural? Sounds correct to me.
Is the offended actually a female?
