  People will start drama if you use the wrong words. Either the drama itself or trying to avoid it is an additional source of stress.

    Lucky for me I'm in a country developed enough by all standards yet largely not affected by this circus.

    Before I left tech the first time I used the wrong pronoun was "free". Second is fireable offense literally classified as hate speech. Most people didn't go to HR unless you are a dick. I support whatever you want to do, truly. I have a habit of joining a zoom and saying "hey guys hows it going?". It's been really hard to break but I am working on it Seriously, if I made that mistake the first 5 min of the meeting is attributed to this with some massive history on transsexuality but rarely a mention of Guy Fawkes. Personally, I think the majority of these people are addicted to their struggle and probably should work on moving past that with a qualified professional. One of my best friends and most capable mentors came out and I think it's fucking great. Good for her! She handles it healthy and always has a positive anecdote even when I fuck up.

      > Personally, I think the majority of these people are addicted to their struggle and probably should work on moving past that with a qualified professional. A generation that grew up reading about and watching recordings/movies of the civil rights fights of the prior generation(s), with no more such large fights of their own, seeking ever further niche subjects to blow up into something they can fight for.

  Excessive regard for people's most superficial immutable traits; e.g., racism, sexism, etc, whether "well-intentioned" or not.
