It's absolutely the opposite of "relearning" in relative complexity/difficulty.
> remember a set of pronouns for each and every person you interact with, from a basically infinite set of combinations.
I've literally never met a person of alternative pronouns in real life (both the "unintuitive" variety and the "made up" variety), surely you are exaggerating with unreasonable hyperbole.
> Phrases like "if you don't know what X means, you must live under a rock" are common.
I've gotten this constantly my entire life, no matter how obscure or unimportant the information, more often sports and non political things than politics.

I have. But it's not just the ones with alternative pronouns. Some of them have standard pronouns but still sign their email with them at the end. The implication is I shouldn't assume their pronouns and they can change them at any time. > I've gotten this constantly my entire life, no matter how obscure or unimportant the information, more often sports and non political things than politics.
