I love how this is the new line in the sand for our "center-left" "freedom of speech" advocates.

Can't make their views known about race, ethnicity, religion, sexual preference, gender identity, etc. without getting modded.

So let's defeat pronouns. That'll show them all.

I work entirely in center left spaces and they have embraced doing this for years now.

The quotation marks were meant to imply sarcasm. I have no shortage of folks I've engaged on this site whose views tend suspiciously right-wing yet they'll insist they're "center left". Very specifically that.

I really have no need or want of that. I like the neutrality I have going now. I'll use pronouns for people when asked, I'll vote for trans rights, but I won't modify my speech.

Everyone you're talking directly to, is "you".
Everyone about whom you are talking to someone else can be "he", "she" or "they", as they prefer (if they indicate) or what they look like the first time if not.
Also, anyone about whom you are talking to someone else can be "that person".

There is no "would of", "should of" or "could of".
There is "would've", "should've" and "could've".
