This hits close to home. The issue that I’ve been facing is that people actually seem to care about pronouns. However, when one mentions the idea of “broken money” and how we might fix, there is no emotional hook, it’s too abstract, and people cannot even see the problem. A “he” being called a “she”, on the other hand, very bad

Have you ever encountered someone in real life that got mad at you for your pronoun usage?
I’ve made it 36 years so far, and somehow never had this happen to me. And yet it’s like all over my social media timeline as though it happens to people every day.
No. In 33 years, I’ve never heard pronoun use cause actual issues in real life. To your point, I cannot believe that pronouns take up this much of our political conversation when we have all these real problems that I can see and feel every waking moment.
The proper response is: stfu you community weirdo. That works for me
Ever since I started to identify as a Mongolian female, it’s been one long nightmare of misgendering. However, I remain undaunted. I go on!
