I'm all for using they/them, especially if someone prefers that, but in what world does it make sense to use something like in your example?

Because it's obviously ridiculous if Gerda's pronouns are something obnoxious like aeroplane/airplane/plane and you have to do this instead:
This is my friend Gerda. Aeroplane likes to drink ketchup. What do you think about airplane? What are you going to give Gerda/airplane for plane's birthday?

Linguistically the entire point with pronouns is to ease communication so you don't have to refer to someone with more demanding things over and over and over. When their pronoun systems are harder to remember than their names there is no point in using pronouns because you have to acquire a lot of additional grammatical information about every single person you ever intact with and then you might as well be like this is my friend Gerda, Gerda likes to drink ketchup, what do you think about Gerda? what are you going to give Gerda for Gerda's birthday?Klasifikovany wrote:
the pronoun thing has genuinely gotten out of hand
Honestly it has. I remember when people would get in deep shit and get attacked by a woke kiddie and their sycophants for having anything jokey. Now they get away with anything bc of "non humans"the pronoun thing has genuinely gotten out of hand
