The other stuff about social pronouns should be left to much later in the education process.

And speaking as someone who feels they have a different gender you’re sure you wouldn’t be upset by someone refusing to acknowledge your chosen pronoun?

If I told you a story about my neighbour but didn’t tell you the sex/gender which pronoun would you use for this person?
