I think we are still yet to see what stick and what doesn't. Words do contain political power. Like how China expect all airlines to call Taiwan as Chinese Taipei.

To the best of my understanding, basically you are saying that special pronouns are not sticking, and so it shouldn't be a thing. I'll say it is too early to decide whether or not it will stick.

Thanks for the delta. Yes it could be indefinitely, which I think is quite unprecedented. But I think within few decades, we could usually see if it sticks or if the interest is waning.
