Ive had some experience with this issue at my workplace.
Has anyone heard of pronoun badges? It displays your name and then your preferred pronoun, such as his/hers or they, if you aren't sure.
But it doesn't stop there.
Whatever you decide to be known as is now how people must describe you when they are talking about you in the third person, to deliberately not do so is discriminatory.
For example, 'Bob works really hard, they deserve a raise.' Yes, 'they' is how you describe a single person, not a group. Bob has decided he doesn't want to be known as a male, even though that is his birth gender and he hasn't gone through gender reassignment. It is all about how Bob feels. He is free to change his mind , of course, and it is up to all of us to keep up with Bobs preferred pronoun.
But wait, theres more. You can also decide to choose a made up pronoun, some examples are xie, zir and zem. If you don't like that, you can choose a cosmic pronoun to describe yourself. New York city now recognises about 30 different pronouns.
On the subject of puberty blockers, why is it ok for kids to make this decision? It reminds me so much of the blood issue, which is the argument about children not having the mental capacity to decide for themselves if a medical procedure is ok for them. When I was a kid, I dressed up as superman and identified as superman.
Its 2020 folks, get with the program. By the way, my pronouns this week are Lord, or His Worship.
