    I totally get respecting specific pronouns, no confusion there.

    I don’t see how the scenario presented in OP is different from wanting to be referred to in the third person.

      Ah! Effectively none.

      Which does bring up an unusual case: how should drag be referred to as part of a group? They and drag? Or would just they suffice?

        They. It’s the same as if you refer to a group of people with a man in it. The “he” is discarded. Drag doesn’t use plural independent pronouns.

        Some degree of identity erasure is inherent with mass pronouns; interesting question!
