Good explanation.

Pronouns seem to be popular everywhere now from corporates to higher education so I think it's a genuine cultural shift.

Yeah, I’m not convinced it goes much deeper than trying not to get cancelled or have their social media accounts trashed to be honest. Don’t be fooled by the echo chamber - the Twitter feed of a chocolate manufacturer or the university of the rest of England isn’t a very good social barometer. And any organisation can hoist that ridiculous flag and tick a box on its social responsibility checklist.
A recent leaked internal survey of civil servants in Scotland revealed that the SNP had asked them all if they would be willing to specify their pronouns in their email signatures. Only 17% do, 25% might if they were asked, and 58% said they wouldn’t.

As Starmer rightly pointed out, anyone can chant a slogan. Plenty of people will do so under social pressure. But most people haven’t gone nearly far enough down the rabbit hole to deny that only a woman has a cervix.
