Fucking. Stop. Shit like this is why bigots make fun of the whole movement. “I can’t keep up with the pronouns!” I can’t keep up with the bullshit, and I’m an ally. Stop. (Xe or Fae or Hu or whatever you are. You’re certainly not a fucking elf, won’t go there.)
LGBT covers 99.997% of non-cis humans. JFC, let it ride at that. (And here comes some 14-yo, “I don’t feel included.” Yeah, neither did any of us at that age, not even the jocks and popular kids.)
There is no compromising with the bigots. Being an ally in any movement also means you let others employ different tactics that you think are silly or express your views in a more extreme or mainstream way than you would express yourself.
I didn’t make it. I don’t care how long it is, or how many variations of gender identities exist now or in the future or how our culture evolves in recognizing our innate diversity. As long as the kids are safe, loved and can lead full lives as who they are.
I don’t care how hurt your feelings are, or how fragile you are or how limited or conditional your “allyship” is.
I have zero desire to avoid the scorn and ridicule of bigots. Its something to be worn with pride.
