Part of it is me just being a contrarian and fuddy-duddy, but the idea that everyone should choose and have their own fucking pronouns is just completely asinine to me. Itโs absurd, and I think those who champion this practice actually know itโs absurd. I believe thatโs part of the point of it, like when I asked one of my teachers in high school to call me a ridiculous nickname.
This is the triumph of neoliberalism in the individual mind itself.
