It’s free to use someone’s pronoun just like it’s free to use someone’s nickname they give you. I don’t really consider it an issue in my life at all. As for the emoji, It’s inherently non-important. As for the sports and prison issues, I think that’s worthy of a conversation. No matter which prison they’d be put in, it could cause issues and our prison system is already full of issues as it is. As for sports, I think you always have to come down on the side of competitive fairness if it’s a public league and let the decision be made by any private league themselves, as it’s their league and their consequence no matter what they decide.

Any way you look at it, just because someone makes a decision for themselves that you don’t agree with, doesn’t mean you have to treat them like an enemy.
