Shall I tag you as "Word Police" now? Would that help me to remember your lifelong crusade that you've always had against redundancy in the English language?

Sure, knock yourself out.

You want to be shitty and act prejudicial to people not in total lockstep, that's on you. You dont represent anyone.
I'd take it a personal compliment that you think I act shitty towards people like you.

Honestly to me I have always viewed it the same way I have viewed those people that really like Digimon. It is just such a meaningless thing that like .5% of people take very seriously, I find it so meaningless it is difficult for me to even imagine a world where I am giving anywhere close to a shit about what word people call me, or Digimon in general. But that's fine and all, I am happy you like Digimon, but I don't really want to learn about Digimon. And again sure, if you say call me "Guavomon" I will call you Guavomon, but you have to understand that when I am autopiloting sentences I've spent my entire life just autopiloting and calling everyone "Charizards", I am still, especially when referring to just multiple people around me and you happen to be in that group, am still probably just going to keep autopiloting to Charizard ya know.

I will have an issue with any word that is completely redundant, yes. Shall and will are generally interchangeable. But one has a more polite or proper connotation.

Do you see the difference?
So you agree that there are words that mean essentially the same thing on paper, but which is appropriate to use depends on the context of the situation?

If so, then there is no difference. You're being needlessly pedantic and you're arbitrarily drawing the line at pronouns when it comes to redundant language

Some of these seem somewhat silly. And I will say, I do agree that I don't see the point in creating new words that don't add any new meaning.
I listen to what people have to say, and if it makes sense, I rock with it. If it seems nonsensical, I don't.
Also the example about names was a pretty poor example.

Im confused. You just admitted words can fit different contexts despite having the same definition. That is the difference.

If pronouns do that, I have no issue. But only Conflict has given a difference for one.

I'll call you whatever you want and have a little chuckle about it later if it's silly. I'd imagine most people would absolutely make that concession.

If you want to use gender acceptance as a shield to make completely out of line genuinely horrible statements about people, you suck.

More like JerryHellNo mirite.

Anyway, the point isn't whether you think these terms have meaning. The point is what meaning they have for the person who adopts them. If you ever meet someone with neopronouns, you can ask them what it means for them.

And I'll imagine it had little if anything to do with you, the person offended by these words.

There is no difference because it's the same thing. The context in this case is how people want you to refer to them.

I think people are just longing for a disconnection from "men like sports and beer and this and that" and "women like fashion, makeup, this and that and this and that". Which is awesome.

I think that's just what people are wanting to express but in a way that makes them feel more...unique (different genders or non binary) Before they die.

Ohhhh. This entire makes way more sense now. Yall are saying the individual has prescribed meaning. So you cant know in general what the pronouns mean.

I've not read the topic so this may have been answered but I don't want to read 10 pages of the same boring anti-trans rhetoric we've seen time and time again.

Are pronouns like the ones in the OP a personal preference or is there more to it than that? I have to admit I've not heard of most of them in the OP so I'm curious as to their origins as well.

It is always a person's own choice as to what pronouns they prefer others use for them.

I looked up a couple and some have history of use for decades. Ve/ver saw use in the 1970s.

Is there an expectation amongst the trans community and their allies that people should know the most widely used pro-nouns and keep up to date on any new ones or is respectfully using them when the person you are talking to informs you of their preferred pronouns enough?

It seems awkward to ask someone what their preferred pronouns are but then how else are
you gonna know what someone wants to be called.

Idk, I got asked my pronouns at my new job and there wasn't really anything weird about it. To a lot of us it's just seen as a "oh this person actually gives a shit" moment

Yeah but that isn't really the argument. We're not talking about new words. If I referred to an avocado as a zabouca (which is what it's sometimes referred to in my motherland), that would be a new word for you to be exposed to. The situation here is individuals that look at the existing vocabulary and say, no that's not good enough I need a different word -- without being able to tell me a good reason -- or really any kind of reason whatsoever. I think that's different to a name because names are meant to be unique.

Yes. Just like when people say "Hello, my name is James, but people call me Bo."

You then say "Oh, why do they call you Bo?"

Then then tell you why.

So when someone says "Hello, my name is James, my pronouns are Ve/Ver"

You then say "Oh, why did you decide on Ve/Ver?"

Then they tell you why.
