Jay this is BRILLIANT! I've stated a zillion times that if one doesn't understand how language programs the mind they will fail in their endeavors. This is true for business contracts, insurance claims, and most importantly one's BELIEFS. Beliefs are words to label an idea but performed irrationally. The rational mind does NOT care one bit for a belief--it's about the details.
My issue lies with the pronouns, "they/them." (Often even "he/she/they/them") Here's why: pronouns, they / them, represent one who is gender fluid, agender, etc., or used when gender identity is unknown. It doesn't matter what you call "them," because "they" are gender fluid, gender changing over time, & identify as both, "he and she". Yet, many are offended if you use "he" or "she" to identify them.
So, the conversation goes in circles...
Not everyone, but I believe many use it as a means to preclude communication and target others, presumed to be bigots, prejudice, transphobic, etc. (not unlike presumed "anti-semitism), as a means to avoid an uncomfortable truth. I believe the social aspect of gender identity has become a dangerous trend, especially for those with gender dysphoria. It is said that gender dysphoria is different from one who identifies as being agender or transgender. This part baffles me, according to DSM-5 criteria.
Note: I'm fully aware of chromosomal disorders, in which, most identify as one or the other.
