I would say back on topic but I'm not really sure what it is anymore.

It's about the utterly ridiculous lengths to which woke-ism is heading.

Here's the link you got that from - for "Fair Use", it's polite to provide the link...

Here’s another - https://www.urbandictionary.com/defi...term=Snowflake

A very sensitive person. Someone who is easily hurt or offended by the statements or actions of others.

Well, you’re not under any obligation to acquiesce to their demands, I know I won’t be.

Bigender - I originally scanned this as big ender and was wondering how that fitted the gender debate!

I agree, biological sex is not arbitrary, but beyond that, I think people shouldn't really be introducing more labels.

I generally use either they or, if I know which pronoun they like, I'll use that one.
E.G., I know two transsexuals, who both use the pronoun "she", so I use "she".

I will not use the word 'they' in the singular impersonal context. However, if the pronoun is to apply to an individual who has made known his/her preference, then I will respect the preference.

Some prefer the gender neutral use. It avoids problems when addressing someone whose name gives no clues. There are others would be highly offended were you to use a gender specific term.
All just people, regardless, the obsession with labelling everything is the real problem.

I think I'll stick with using the term you.
