The whole phenomenon of neopronouns is, of course, a measure of "wokeness" in our society. It's a sign of narcissism growing with self delusion. This is not an excuse to despise people who insist on our acceptance of their special pronouns. Rather, it is a sign that they are seriously in need of our prayers." current
