Since you said a hypothetical person who wants to be called by a ridiculous pronoun doesn't share your definition of respect, I'm wondering if you have an opinion on which desired pronouns are repectable and which aren't.

i find getting called 'cis' quite disrespectful. offensive even. doubly so when light skin color, 'white', is used to generalize and demonize. hypocrisy is the worst.
> Since you said a hypothetical person who wants to be called by a ridiculous pronoun
Ok. Now I understand. Read my comment again. We're talking about hypotetical person A who claims that another hypothetical B person who wants to be called by a ridiculous pronoun is disrespectful.
A says that B is disrespectful.
I said that it is A who doesn't know what respect is.
Sorry that you got confused.
Do you think that there's any limit on what pronouns people can demand to be called? Can my pronoun be "intergalactic emperor/intergalactic emperor's/intergalactic emperor"? Can every person have their own unique set of pronouns? Can every person have more than one set of pronouns which they switch throughout the day depending on their fluid sense of gender?
