I don't care how downvoted I get, I'll never call someone a made up pronoun. There is no word as xir as xe or latinx and i'm not participating in what I'd consider alarming participation of a mental illness. If you want me to call you he, or she, or as pointed just they, I don't think that's asking much. And I'll probably make a mistake, just mention it and move on. But the second you force this crap onto me, I'm out, which I'm sure pleases both sides.

Do you actually believe this, or are you using it as an insult?

>I don't care how downvoted I get

This hurts your comment so badly, especially as a leading statement.

>Do you actually believe this, or are you using it as an insult?

I believe this, and mean it more as a matter of fact in a literal sense, and not as an insult.

To each their own. I know my audience. I lean conservative on a heavily west coast populated forum. I'm usually pretty easy going, but did draw a line in the sand on this. If every SE community trends this way, I'll pursue other interests.
