Best of luck to those people who have a particular issue with personal pronouns, the problem is though that the more the issue develops, the more likely it is to become a topic of humour, which is going to upset them even more.My son (13) and his friends have for ages been making big jokes about “Identifying as an attack helicopter”, originally I though it was some mad early-teenage joke peculiar to him and his mates, but apparently “it’s a thing”.

Meanwhile schools have mandatory “lessons” on “how best to celebrate LGBTQA+ lifestyles”
My parents worried about me breaking windows and trespassing on the railway, that seems preferable to worrying about your kid being accused of whatever-the-latest-word-is-for homophobia
That is pretty amusing. Although I suppose it does mock the plight of people who are not in the traditional gender categories.
I wouldnt call it homophobia though.
I think the issue is a lot of people just dont understand how gender can be a subjective social construct. For most people your either a man or a women.
Even if you decide to change your ■■■ you are still changing it to the opposite ■■■. There are those who identify as inanimate objects or other species… It is hard to understand.
I should probably start another topic on this.
But there are literally people who identify as other species.

In that article alone, there are people who identify as a dragon or as a werewolf.
