I've heard some people, some on podcasts, who talk about long lists of pronouns, but I wasn't sure if this kind of scale is serious. Is this hyperbole, or do you mean that somewhat literally?
You know what? I'm not even sure myself anymore. New pronouns and genders are added to the list every single day, and I have actually heard the sincere claim more than once that the number of genders is infinite. It's gotten quite ridiculous with genders like "bugself", "kittenself", "princess", "vampire", "demon", "deer", "aliagender", "novigender", "trigender", "transfeminin", "demigender", "aporagender", "agender", "alexigender", "ambigender", "amicagender", "cloudgender", "colorgender", "boyflux", "demifluid", "genderfluid", "nanogender", "deliciagender", "quiogender", "vapogender", "magigender", "genderqueer", "mascgender", "heliogender", "genderwitched", and on and on and on and on.
We haven't even gotten to the random substitution of consonants and vowels yet.
But what's really sad here is that the vast majority of them are utterly vague and meaningless. They share definitions, refer to wildly obscure momentary feelings that everybody has once in a while, or simply make no logical or scientific sense at all. Yet if you use the wrong one, the alphabet mafia behaves like you've just bitten the head off of their favorite pet.
However, perhaps the most tragic part of all of this is that it diminishes genuine gender dysphoria. People who are actually, truly struggling with their own identity and are not simply looking for an explanation for feeling depressed or following the gender fad for social status. These people, with legitimate gender related issues, are getting swept up into it all with those who are so desperate for any kind of validation that they want to push hormone treatments onto first graders.
I trust you can understand now why I find the whole situation to be quite irksome.
