I used to say all the time to my old gf how ridiculous it is to list objective, possessive and subjective pronouns. Putting aside the normal transgender/genderfluid bs, the implication of listing all 3 is that someone would go by one gender when they are doing something, another when they own something, and a third if something happens to them. Is there really a case where that's not completely sexist or otherwise ridiculous?
Right, it's stupid. But how would you simplify it? By just saying "Gender: male", right? Or "Male pronouns"? But that's exactly what they're trying to avoid. To them, saying "Male" doesn't actually answer the question because they think it's sexist to say that men are referred to with male pronouns, so they're left without a way to do it concisely, because the English language simply wasn't designed to handle how stupid that is. So as soon as they'd try to make up a new word to describe people who use "he/his/him", some tranny somewhere would say they identify as that but use different pronouns, and they'd be back to where they started, because being a liberal means you must never, ever, ever say a tranny is wrong. It's preferable to deny observable reality than risk making a tranny somewhere uncomfortable.
