Or simplified.

You can call yourself whatever you wish but I'm not pandering to delusion no matter how much you demand I do.

When addressing you, I use your name. I do not refer to you by a pronoun, as that is rude.

I am under no obligation to see you as you see yourself. Your gender identity is of very little interest to me.

It’s a cult that demands complete and utter subjugation to its ethos lest you ostracised aka cancelled, and slurred with the blasphemous insults of the ideologues; racist, homophobe, misogynist or just a general bigot.

It sounds like you do care. In a weirdly overbearing and aggressive way.

I care about the potential ramifications of the narcissism and self obsession of the pronoun generation. I believe it epitomises a dis functional direction that we are heading as a society.

The consistent approach of “not caring” would be “you want to be called that? Ok, I’ll call you that.” This is actually not hard.

It’s called a headline. Writers use them all the time 😊

Exactly!

And these pronouns are a growing issue because everyone wants to be "special"!

I simply refuse to participate in their delusion!

It’s just extreme self obsession.

You not understanding or liking something doesn’t mean the other person is deluded. It could mean that you are, or that you’re just a shit.

So being polite is enabling someone’s belief in a fantasy? Therapists define that as reinforcing someone’s delusions. Not healthy but harmful.
