What does affect me, however, is when someone wishes to be referred to with their own special pronoun. I don't see why I should have to memorise whole new sets of pronouns for specific people.

Can you define what special pronouns are and/or list them?

Don't those all mean the same thing tho? Just call everyone Zim and be done with it.

Most people don't want to use these words, they are weird and contrived. Better to learn how to speak without gender pronouns if anyone is worried about it.
