>Today, people’s resistance to neopronouns likely stems from their use by nonbinary and trans people<p>Or maybe it's the fact that it's fairly reliably self evident if someone is a he or she, and if you don't know or aren't sure you can use they.<p>You need to know before hand if people prefer another particular pronoun, and then you need to have been introduced to them, but if you've been introduced to them you can use their name, infact using pronouns in that situation can be considered rude (see: "who's 'she'? The cats mother?")<p>I think the area of fruitful debate is who to label a he/she/they.<p>Presenting as a certain gender seems straight forward? What are the edge cases for non binary people though?<p>I suppose gay people have various ways of showing they are homosexual, maybe something like that will come about?<p>Maybe a non gendered Mr/ms equivalent?
