So silly, I live in an exceedingly queer part of a city and work in a business that is all queer people, so about 1/5 of everyone I work with is trans.
As far as I can tell, neopronouns are entirely a basement dweller thing.

This tells more about you than about the people you interact with. A person I worked with was telling me and a trans ally he never heard someone complain about what pronouns he uses (in a meeting in which we spoke out against a transphobic suggestion he made). He was quite sure of himself and didn’t want to hear what we said. Even after we did make that semi public he stood his position, which is funny since my ally did actually demand in public to be recognized with the correct terms and name.
People didn’t feel save around him. In my environment trans people and plenty of others are giving you pronouns, but then again I am not outside the scene, am I?
I guarantee the chud that said this likes to call people NEETS while either projecting from a basement or smugly sits comfortably upon their parents’ boat dealership money and does chores sometimes to “earn” it.
I’m willing to consider that I’m wrong about this. But at some point it’s just an issue of practicality. How many neopronouns do you need to have memorized for work? How many neopronouns is reasonable?
I find it very reasonable to remember male/female/nonbinary pronouns for everyone I work with.
But if I had to remember a special neopronoun for every single individual, I wouldn’t be able to finish a work conversation. I would probably stop using pronouns altogether, and just use their name. At that point, what’s the point of pronouns?
So I really want to know, how many neopronouns do you need to remember, and how many neopronouns do you think you’re reasonably capable of remembering?
You lost me at
