Now, suppose you (the reader of this comment) are assigned the task of promoting Morgan Freeman's proposed strategy, but with respect to sexism. With that hypothetical in mind, I ask you: is an organized program of introducing novel gender-neutral pronouns an aide to your task, or a hindrance?

Sexism and racism are not equal to sex and race. Ignoring blatant facts does not make discrimination go away. Identifying someone by their sex or race is not an issue - Mr. Freeman made his explanation a little too simple. The persistent stereotypes and baggage that comes along with the race or sex identification is the real issue.
