Many people are taking offense at gender-distinctive forms embedded in the language. The argument is the accepted usage demeans whoever is not represented. So to solve this they've proposed more distinctions, and take offense at being implicitly excluded when the distinctive pronouns are not used. They also take offense at any criticism.
I don't think this is going to end well by just humoring people and moving on, especially if the slightest error or criticism results in bullying and ostracism.
