to not use any gendered language

So how does this work with two trans people, one who insists that no gendered language be used and the other who insists on being called their preferred gender pronouns? Which one gets to win and make the other person do what they want?

I watched a "woke fight" the other day about whether "it" should be considered an offensive pronoun or not, since some people use it for themselves. How people don't wake up to the ridiculousness of the whole thing is beyond me, but at least I found it entertaining to watch.

Ugh, I've encountered something like that online a few times over the years. Like someone would constantly refer to themselves as "it" and in the third person, saying stuff like "it doesn't deserve personhood", essentially pulling people into their humiliation kink by making them question why the person talked like that.
