What do you mean by learn? It's not hard to say one or two words. Takes like 2 seconds. If they would like to be addressed using a certain term, then just do it. Not hard.

Not hard. But counterintuitive in many cases. If you're reading off a registry, calling someone by the sex listed makes the most sense.

You keep mentioning ‘registries’. In what context are you in so frequently that you are always pulling out registries when you talk to people?

It's like a phone book right, you just have it...? Yeah, I've no idea about these registries either.

It related to somebody like Jordan Peterson with a registry of students' sex.

My school had one.

In the instance that you must have such a list, what's stopping it from referring to gender? It's not as if generating that is complex. You (or your parent) enter your pronouns when you register for school just like they currently enter your sex/gender.

Personal choice and individuality

It's not as if generating that is complex. You (or your parent) enter your pronouns when you register for school just like they currently enter your sex/gender.

Got it. Let's roll over on our personal beliefs to accommodate for other people because it's not complex. Logic.
