Was just reading an article about trans visibility in modelling and saw this, I am impressed by their self belief!

I hope everyone who is forced to state preferred pronouns chooses ones that are totally random and out there.

I work in the NHS and these requests to state pronouns on emails and during introductions at the start of meetings are creeping in more and more, I will look forward to the day when some of the doctors where I work who are really pushing this, have to refer to me as God. There will be more formal grievances for using wrong pronouns than the NHS can handle.

Unfortunately not Leopard, this was in Gay Times and was a full article about a trans modelling agency, so I imagine God was talking absolutely earnestly. Who’d have thought that Gay Times would be the New Testament?

An ironic joke, hopefully.

I think we need standardisation of format and what x/x/x means

For example she/her/hers is a requested subject pronoun, object pronoun and possessive pronoun.

she kicks the ball
I saw her
The book is hers

Surely they and God aren't requested object and possessive, respectively?

That would give us:

she kicks the ball
I saw they
The book is God

They must all be alternate subject pronouns?

This could be positive. What we might be seeing is a shift in usage:
reality -> identity -> brand/injoke -> meaningless label -> unfashionable.

It shows that pronouns being used as identity markers is evolving.
