I kind of see what you’re saying but, Attack Helicopter isn’t a pronoun so I don’t totally see the validity of the comparison. I just see preferred pronouns as respecting someone’s boundaries. It doesn’t hurt me and it doesn’t cost me anything. My grandmother has dementia, a mental illness, and we play along even if it doesn’t make sense that she thinks I’m her sister in 1967...because it doesn’t hurt anyone. And it helps me save my energy for real issues that actually are threatening us, our country, and our freedoms.
