But I was aiming more for how many genders there now, pronouns and identifiers, political or religious affils, etc.

So many different subsets that apparently require exclusivity of almost anything else.

Funny you go there. My middle son is dating some hipster who doesn’t want to be referred to as her or she. It’s here name, they or them. WTF!  

Screams high maintenance.

How about as a Bartender, I avoid all pronouns. Some shit they got going on now.

It's not high maintenance, it's pure control. Plain and simple.

High maintenance or control, all the same. Take it from someone married for 25 years.

tldr;

How to compose a successful critical commentary:

You should attempt to re-express your target’s position so clearly, vividly, and fairly that your target says, “Thanks, I wish I’d thought of putting it that way.
        You should list any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).
        You should mention anything you have learned from your target.
        Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.

Is the whole gender-neutral pronoun thing going mainstream?  Cause I am too old to change and too cynical to care.

Who do you think is dividing and conquering us Shogun?  We are certainly more and more divided than before.
