My only quibble is I don’t think it’s a courtesy to go along with someone’s delusions like with their pronouns - it’s submission. We wouldn’t go along with someone who thinks they are Napoleon or a cat, we’d see them as rightly needing mental help. And we shouldn’t embrace someone who is transgender because there is no such thing, it’s only a person who mutilated themselves. A man can never not be a man. A woman can never not be a woman. The courteous thing to do, the kind thing to do, is help them get help.
Excellent speech and a true warrior for freedom.

Almost no interactions require third-person pronouns. We just say "you," which includes any gender or number.
Plenty of people don't even know what a pronoun is...
Some languages don't have pronouns.
