What's up with all the "pronoun" stuff?

That about sums up this whole nonsense!

It's part of the "liberal, post-modern life".

As opposed to the Republican 1950's dream world life?

As opposed to the Republican 1950's dream world life?

And the JFK classical liberal life.

Well, JFK f**ked Marilyn and stopped the Cuban Missile crisis. Trump f**ked a porn star and want's to end "nuclear warming" Same s**t, right? 
Oh yeah- Kennedy didn't break so many laws that if he was me he'd be getting f**ked in prison.

I'm referring to classical liberalism which started during JFK's time and not JFK, specifically.

One example can be found in this clip from Roddenberry's Star Trek:

Star Trek - "The Charming Negress"

Lincoln's manifestation apologizes because he realizes that his views are antiquated, but Uhura states that she's not offended because in that future the "sticks and stones" bit applies. Kirk explains this phenomenon as the ability to adjust to differences and refers to Spock's culture as an example, which for Spock is needed in order to minimize conflict. From there Lincoln's manifestation recognizes it as the philosophy of nome:

which can probably be likened to classical liberalism, which is a combination of conservatism (two genders) and post-modern liberalism (50+ genders).

Sounds like a bunch of political gibberish.
I'm talking human beings, not politics.
What I was saying- Kennedy was a good man at heart, while Trump is a racist, misogynist, compulsive lying  narcissist.
Yup. Star Trek.

I get it. I mean, I'm not trans but I've got quite a few friends that are trans and non-binary and some are fully transitioned or mid-way through. Some don't transition at all. I'm in the community a bit, but that's neither here nor there.

My favorite 'argument' from people against it is that 'they're shoving their agenda down our throats." Like, people have been gay/bi/trans for centuries but were targeted with hate crimes over it. It's 2023. They should be able to be out and proud about it.

Open discussion is a good thing.

It's a flaw in our beautiful language that no one has come up with a non-gender specific singular pronoun. To say they or them when referring to one person is not only atrocious grammar but inefficient and frequently confusing, and one more reason my regard for society continues to dim.

There was Xe/xey around 2012 I want to say that was supposed to be a gender neutral pronoun,  but it's a bit awkward to say in real life which is why, literally out of convenience,  people started to use they/them instead. Xe/xey is still around,  but it's rare.

^ That's what confuses me. The terminology.  
That's the title of this thread!
