You can tell us what you’d like us to call you. That’s referred to as your “Name”. You can leave the rest of the language alone. You don’t get to change your adverbs, participles, adjectives, predicates, etc.
Culture War aside, that’s not how language works. You have as much understanding to the history of language as you have basic dignity to other human beings.
But… you can change all of those things, adverbs, participles, adjectives, predicates, you can change all of them by changing your behaviour and characteristics… You can’t even get your own stupid arguments to be correct.
Oh look how smart you are by pointing out that YOU can change those things by acting differently; and the other thing I’m referring to is you forcing OTHERS to act differently. If you’re a he, or a she, I’m absolutely fully in support. I am not calling you Xe, or Xir and changing other parts of my language to accommodate you being so insecure that a NAME isn’t good enough for you.
I simply follow the rules, I don’t attempt to change them and force everyone else to follow mine.
“Of course” because it should be obvious. You were taught english too.
I would of course include Dr. as well, as that’s part of someone’s name. But as I’m slightly on the spectrum, when people start trying to change my language based on their whims, it throws me.
I’m not going to start adding Xe and Xir and all sorts of rules to my ruleset because someone decided a name was too bland for them.

Bold take, here on Lemmy. Let’s see how it goes for them
Leave language alone motherfuckers not speaking in Old English. smh

Says who? You? Are you the arbiter of language?
Really? Not even Ms.? Because I imagine a lot of younger women would feel pretty insulted by you calling them Mrs.
Oh you. Of course that would include Ms. :D
Why “of course?” Again, are you the arbiter of language?

What rules? Where do these rules come from? Who codified them? Can you please show me where they are laid out?
It’s against the law! Please turn yourself in to the nearest police precinct.
Being respectful of everyone’s person would hurt my lil brain tryin to remember all those words.
