Verbal conversations? I don’t think it’s fair to say it takes no effort… maybe it’s from ADHD, but simply using they/them reliably took an embarrassingly long amount of time. Neopronouns are a whole different challenge for my ADHD-autopilot’d mouth that’s already struggling with forming coherent sentences.
Of course I’m not saying we shouldn’t respect their preferences…I just wanted to add my perspective on the ‘no effort’ part.
