Splinter, just for the record, I am a white ( With Freckles) Caucasian of Celtic descent.
Today I am wearing a black tracksuit with a white polo shirt - I have been known to wear a kilt from time to time but this should only be interpreted as an expression of my Caledonian birthplace.
I go by he, him, hello Jimmy, Hey Jock, and Howzitgaunbigman.
That's it for Woke for today

Also for the record, I am a Caucasian (no freckles) who wears jeans but no kilt, as an expression of my relaxed approach to both lifestyle and heritage. I go by various forms of address, most of which I prefer not to mention.

My daughter has a friend who was a girl but this year has started dressing like a boy and wants to identify as male. Great for him, why would I have a problem with that? I do think we have not explored the mental health side of what's happening enough, but if someone makes an individual choice I am all good with that. In fact, I think I am the only one treating him like a guy when he comes to my house when everyone else steps around it or still treats him female.
Still, I think government's need to stay out of this. If there is to be a shift in society and the language we use, it must be done naturally and not by legal force. It must also be allowed to take its time. If the future is to be one of multiple pronouns, it will take a long time but we will get there. For example, calling a gay person a "f*****" was ok even around 10 years ago, now not so much. Still, some people will use that word. It takes time to make these changes and you will probably never eliminate it totally. But forcing it through government and law is not the answer.
Rather than try to approach the situation with sensitivity and understanding, it makes me angry and reject what change people are trying to make. I don't care if someone wants to be known as Zhe, and if asked I would call that person by that pronoun. However, I hate the idea of being forced to do so by a law.

I agree with your combination of common sense and sensitivity to individuals, Semigoodlooking .

I agree with you. Live and let live as far as I'm concerned.
On the other hand, rendering the non-use of preferred pronouns as a criminal (?) offence is a step towards lunacy, as Prof. Jordan Peterson eloquently states. In fact, he himself was hauled over the coals at his university for NOT doing just that.
Why not make it a criminal offence for not referring to me as him or he? Same thing really.

I agree 100% with this post. However I would draw the line at allowing trans athletes in sport.

heshe was competing against, so how could it possibly be fair? -
