What's your opinion on diverse pronouns?

Will you use them if someone tells you what their pronouns are?

I respect trans people and try my best to refer to them as they asked, but in the french language it's really hard.

On diverse and neo pronouns I distance myself from people who use them, I don't want anything to do with them, it doesn't seem genuine to me, it is just a way of adding depth to a very shallow personality.

Gender pronouns do not work well in certain languages, such as Spanish, which use masculine and feminine nouns.

Why is it difficult in French? I'm not too familiar with the rules of the language but it's quite interesting now that you mention it.

Similar to why it doesn't work with Spanish I think.

There are only 2 pronouns: jag och ni.

To avoid insult or conflict I don't use them where I'm dubious, case in point theres a transitioning male to female in the local booze shop where I live. As a male I didn't know his name or used pal mate or buddy. Now he's crossing over male to female and still don't know his or her name I can avoid all conflict. None of my business anyway what their name or pronoun is and I don't care.

If they insist I call them by their chosen pronoun then I'm a sit on lawn mower, not knowing or caring =no issues.

In China there is only wo (I) and ni (you). Life was supposed to be simple and yet here we are. Some languages have 42 different ways of saying three for no reason.

If you want to avoid confrontation as much as possible then just go with hi/hello and good/bye.

The gamer approach is always: more options > less options.

People who are against more options are on the wrong platform, probably because of confusion.

super unnecessary. I will not call them their made up pronouns.

[Hooch]

If I don't know you, and its in a formal setting, I'm saying "sir" or "ma'am" based on what you look like. If you are militant about it in the correction, I'm not changing my use. If you cordially and respectfully correct me, and it is reasonable*, I'll change the use of pronouns.

If you insist that I use your preferred 3rd person pronouns (he/she/his/her/they/them/neo-pronouns) while you aren't even present, tough ♥♥♥♥. I'll refer to you as how you reasonably appear. You don't get to dictate to others how they reference you when you aren't even a part of the discussion. The sheer ego to think that others must comply with your subjective tastes or preferences is asinine. It's like insisting that no one ever calls you an ass when referring to you in a discussion with another person. It's absurd and so emotionally/mentally immature. Present yourself accordingly and the pronouns will flow naturally.

*not neopronoun nonsense like "ze/zir/kitten/kittenself/fae/faer, etc"

Only reason Donatello was my favorite was because I could find a long stick and pretend to be him.

you could break said stick into two segments and use it to replicate the daggers instead.
