Folks:

Do you have thoughts on gender neutral language? Nomenclature? Other gender neutral items I cannot currently remember? Are you opposed? For? Mixed? Share your thoughts!

Do you mean it might too much to ask to say that everyone should refer to themselves using gender neutral language or it's too much for an individual who prefers gender neutral language to ask others to refer to them using that language?

I guess both? The whole world isn't going to change for one group of people and one group of people aren't going to change for one individual, as we've seen throughout history. You can have your close friends and family do it but I don't think everyone who knows you would, or at least they wouldn't remember all the time, more out of habit than being "against" it or something.
