Fact is, Jenner is a dude with male genitals and has never had a true female thought in his life. The idea that people can declare their own “identities” and invent their own pronouns is ripe for abuse by people who have a pathological need to feel special or unique. Consider the family that Jenner is/was a part of and how (and why…lol) they became famous. He’s just following the same absurd script to make money. And the fact so many people who transition later de-transition strongly suggests that the trans movement is more about people living out a fetish than an actual gender identity.

That said, if a dude wants to live as a woman, he should be free to do so. After all, it’s no skin off my or your nose. But that doesn’t mean I must follow his script to the point of absurdity. For example, adopting absurd pronouns (e.g., “ze, zir, vaginamagicas) is just proof of “look at me…I’m totally special and unique and I demand to be the center of attention so that’s why I came out as a trans person.” That’s a non-starter. You get male or female pronouns because sex and gender are binary with a few (intersex) exceptions that are not numerous enough to force the world to change. If Bruce wants to be referred to by female pronouns…that’s cool. But anything else should require proof that a male with meat and veg can be born a female.
