I identify as a God. My name is Erebus. Provide me a tropical island with a mansion with access to the internet, worshipers on hallucinogens, a harem of beautiful women aged 25 to 35 from Australia, Sweden, Italy, Ukraine and enough riches so I'm able to live a lifestyle that conforms with my identity. If you don't comply, you're guilty of denying my existence and you'll go to jail for hate crimes. 🙏

I fail to see any negative consequences coming from this.
Serious question, why should I, or anyone give a toss how someone identifies?

Worship me. 🙏

I agree that there is no need to come up with bullshit new pronouns when we already have gender-nonspecific "they" (singular) and "it". 

However, I disagree with that guy's objection on the grounds of his absolute right to view gender as 100.00% binary with no grey area existing in any individuals.  Isn't that just as unscientific as the "no races exist" position you were just attacking? 

For the guideline in question, I would be interested to know whether it was designed to (1) actually force people to call others by any pronoun that person may choose; or (2) stop people from forcing an unwanted "him" or "her" on someone who doesn't feel they hew to that standard (e.g. a landlord insisting on "him" for a post-op transgender who has turned to a woman)
