At this point, those people don't even care about making Ezra or whoever comfortable, they're just excited to use their new toy of Force You To Verbalize Ideological Allegiance. It's their version of tying you to an altar and saying "Repent and declare pronouns as your lord and savior, or be killed."
granted I don't live on the west coast but has anyone here tried talking about they/thems in real life? if you're making an honest effort it's excruciating, you stumble over every sentence and have to parse everything twice in your head, for both the speaker and the listener, you just want the conversation to move on to anything else
on the internet it's easy, even with as much trouble as era seems to have with it...IRL though?
like I actually don't want to be hurtful to anyone, and even want to try to train myself to make it work for potential times when it might matter...it absolutely does not work
I just got back from a friend's house, he's been watching a show with someone who identifies as they/them and was telling me about it. every sentence was halting as he checked himself, three or four times he said "sh--THEY are hilarious." he's the discord head who cares much more about this than I do, and even he can't do it
I'm sorry, sh-they isn't here right now and can't be hurt by your words, and I won't judge you
