But explain how this is different in an actual grammatical sense.
Yes, it is incredibly minorly different in how it feels and guess what, it gets easier if you stop moaning about it and just lean into it. I simply refer to most people as “they” now and it both hasn’t caused any communication breakdowns and it’s made it super easy to not slip-up. Barely any mistakes these days, and it really didn’t take that long.
You’re making such a big deal out of it and for what?
I feel that you’re the one making a big deal about it. I’ve already agreed to behave according to your rules - but obedience isn’t enough for you. You require full on ideological purity as well. If someone tells you “yes i will use your preferred pronouns but bear with me since it doesnt feel grammatically correct, but im playing along because it causes less strife” why isn’t that enough for you?
Jesus Christ, why do you want to be the victim so bad? Are you getting off on this or something?
I’m literally saying that no one is mad at you for not being perfect, I specifically said that I’m not perfect either, and that the only reason anyone would ever be mad is that you seem to think it’s important to point that this simple thing is hard and this very grammatically correct thing “feels” wrong.
Shut the fuck up about grammar. If it feels weird, fine I won’t even really disagree(with conditions), but there is absolutely no grammar based excuse and that entire topic is a dead-end that only seems clever if you don’t have a basic grasp of the language. People on French have new things they try to do and you can’t handle a thing that already works?
Saying you’re “playing along” and “agreeing to behave according to your rules” is just downplaying the entire thing and is incredibly invalidating. Stop acting like someone has a gun to your head, you little baby.
No one cares about ideological purity, it’s just the fact that you’re being a douche about it.

Geez, calm down. It’s just the internet. I can handle pronouns just fine. You can’t seem to handle people having different opinions than you
