How often would this even come up? A waitress says, “What would you like?” A clerk says, “Can I help you?” or “That will be $14.95.” A supervisor could tell an employee, “Help that person over there.” Pronouns can largely be avoided.

Pandering to perverts can largely be avoided.

That is NOT the issue!

To paraphrase Martin Niemöller, with no disrespect meant:

"First DeBlasio came for the 16 oz Drinks, then the Pronouns, then Castrate the White Tailed Deer, then castrate the white..."

DeBlasio, excuse me, His Excellency, Most High King DeBlasio is the problem.

(note:" I was not a social democrat. ...then they came for the Jews, And I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew... When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out. Friedrich Gustav Emil Martin Niemöller (14 January 1892 – 6 March 1984) was a Protestant pastor and social activist.)

Uh huh, right up until a customer who self-identifies as Dragonkin or Tigerkin vociferously objects to being called a person.

This crap is a mental disorder and now the loony left wants to change your vocabulary to meet their needs.

Avoiding pronouns will surely be added as an actionable offence once it becomes evident that it is becoming widespread.

Suppose the "person" identifies as a cat today?
