What's the Fuss with Pronouns?

You'd have to be living in a cave to have not heard of the Pronouns issue. The big teenage trend is for it to be an issue to misgender someone or use their pronouns incorrectly (not sure if they are the same thing, but they may well be). Yes, righto. According to a group of people, individuals are not necessarily male or female, but their gender identity might run the gamut of experiences. So instead of being male, you may feel that you are something else like non-binary. Following so far? So non-binary is when you are tired of being male or female, and you just go with another feeling. Like a zer or zem. This is the interesting part. Now everyone else needs to call you zer or zem. If they don't, they have caused grievous harm to you. Indeed, they are probably guilty of a 'hate crime'. They don't even really need to care. Just referring to you as a male (or he/him) is evidence of your hate. It doesn't really matter what your intentions were/are. I have a few different views on the pronoun issue/non-issue. Firstly, it should be a non-issue. There are loads of real issues in the world, real violence, unemployment, homelessness and the like. Secondly, the sad thing is that the kids of the ultra woke and the upper middle class have decided that they aren't spoiled enough. And like Veruca Salt in Willy Wonka's factory tour, they want all the attention. It's kind of pathetic, and nothing that a bit of bullying wouldn't solve. So it has - somehow - become an issue. So much so that you have big dudes competing in women's sports. And snowflakes bursting into tears in classrooms, and teachers threatened to be sued for misgendering. It is narcissism and self-absorption gone mad. Thirdly, gender itself is a complete load of BS. Here's why. People are born male or female. It is determined by their reproductive capacities/genitals. The nutbars in universities have abstracted everything after that. They say gender is a performance. And basically the performance extends beyond male or female, and there is a range of options. We shouldn't limit people into acting like a male or a female. Okay, fair enough. But this is like saying your identity is shaped by your holiday preferences. You are a snow person, and I'm a tropical person. In other words, gender is completely made up. It's a nonsense term. Why choose gender as an attribute? Why not choose height as a dominant identity marker? Okay, today, I'm going to have you focus on how tall I am. If you don't, I'll burst into tears. Fourthly, it's all pure distraction. Instead of focusing on the world around us, becoming better educated and intelligent, the propagation of such nonsense is to keep people amused. The gendering thing will never work. It is too complicated for people. Simple, shorthand ideas will always prevail. Fifthly, the challenging on basic biology is important for trans-humanists. In the techno world of these trans-humanist knobs you can't aspire for life beyond humanity if you accept biology. You got to deny biology, and say you can be anything you want to be. You can be a flying unicorn with X-binary wings - so there is self-interest in pretending that biology is not important. Finally, while you could argue that selecting your own pronouns is an ultimate sign of individuality, it really is not. It's just basic teenage rebellion. A way for teenagers to upset people older than them in a passive-aggressive way. It's been happening since the dawn of time, and it is so, yawn, predictable. Let them mull on their 'they/them' and enjoy unemployment. So what are my pronouns? As a Dinosaur, I don't really fall into that game. Unless you refer to me as grrrrr/roar, I'll probably go into a full melt down. Isn't it obvious? Oh, I wish I lived in a cave.
