I don't enjoy GD anymore

307. People with lifelong loved ones in that community understand that the language used

is a vital stepping stone on the path to the right we have been seeking for decades. The proper pronouns and gender words are the outward manifestations of the larger issues, it is how a person knows another is with them. What you are doing, saying it does not matter which pronouns are used, is a trivialization of what they are asking for. It is not you nor I that gets to decide what is important. It is the people being misaddressed as a form of disrespect and slander.
I hear we, and by we I mean those of us who give a shit and are connected to this issue, have found the last vote to pass an inclusive ENDA, maybe, possibly in spite of the Senate super majority bullshit. Endless years of this.
So those of you who heard about Manning and started in on the pronoun trip are announcing your own atavism, does not matter what you think, that is how it will be perceived by those who matter, the victims of that bullshit and of the discrimination doled out by the straight community. By your community, Summer dear. Your community is the source of all the oppression, so when you demand to tell and instruct, that in itself is a statement of supremacist views.
But you enjoy yourself, exploit the suffering of others at the hands of your community for your own jollies. It looks good on you, and adds a sparkle to your cohort as well.
