It is a little bit you. But at least you're getting "it" out there. And I can identify with some of the overwhelm around it. But I do find it fascinating. And essential. If it's happening, it's happening. There's a reason. Like racism, old ways need to die. I am not saying the traditional pronoun scheme is EXACTLY like racism, but the comparison is that by nature of only two choices: him/her, there is exclusion of recognition of others that don't fit into that neat mold. Instead of railing agains the change, I think the more informative/curative thing to do is approach it with curiosity and openness, and try to catch up a little. Because you know, we all need to be heard.
