I certainly don't care if people want to do it on a voluntary basis, but I'm concerned about pronouns being mandated in workplaces or (even worse) in schools. Children are a captive audience, and adults inviting children to question their biological sex is not appropriate.

Yeah, I don't like the idea of making it mandatory. Especially if people are pushing for weird pronouns like fae and xir. Generally if I'm face-to-face with someone, I'll use whatever pronouns they want out of politeness. But its unrealistic to expect everyone else to cater to your idiosyncratic language.
