Ladies and gentleman

I really am trying to figure out how someone wanting to be called preferred pronouns has any real bearing on my life. If William wants to be called Bill or Catherine Cat I'm simple going to try and remember that. To me it's no different albeit maybe a little sillier than people calling me by my legal first name. It is my name I was given but it's not what I go by or people who know me would call me. Matter of fact I have two names I go by one is what the majority of people call me the other only family and close friends use. And either one is perfectly fine I answer to both. But using my first name feels foreign to me. So I prefer folks don't use it. I do not sign any power work with it. Even my drivers license is signed with my known name. Showing respect to someone by referring to them by their preferred pronouns isn't "sharing in their delusion" it's just showing a formal courtesy. The faster people stop making a big deal out of it the sooner it'll die down and probably become old news. If the owner of the company you worked for said don't call me Mr. Smith just call me Smitty you would comply. You n wouldn't tell him that's ridiculous or make a fuss about it. You'd just simply say OK smitty. Most of the people who want to be called a "weird" pronoun you aren't going to be interacting with on a regular basis. I myself am not a big fan of it but the pissing and moaning about it just further gets them riled up. Maybe Im totally wrong. Maybe it is a big deal. It's just not a battle I care to fight because it doesn't matter to me that much. Companies are gonna do what they are gonna do. And as long as they or anybody else isn't asking me to do something immoral or illegal I really don't care. Anyway ladies and gentlemen have a great friday
