    Any root related to sex or sexuality has been perverted in English, or at least American English.

    Just saying Homo means homosexual, trans means transexual, bi means bisexual, poly means polyamorous, and to MAGA, the word pronoun is more triggering than a swastika.

      If someone claims to not have any pronouns, always refer to them by their name.

      No, “Hi Jeff, how was your day? Did you pick up your package?”

      It’s, “Hi Jeff, how was Jeff’s day? Did Jeff pick up Jeff’s package?”

      If you don’t know their name, make up a descriptive one, be creative!
