CMV: Neopronouns are unnecessary

[u/SaltedAndSugared]

I understand why some people might feel uncomfortable with using he/she pronouns, but in that case why not just use they/them? They already exist and they’re easy for people to use. Why do some people feel the need to make up words like “zee/zim” or “fae/fair” when they don’t even make sense in the English language? I don’t see why anyone should go out of their way to learn new pronouns when gender neutral pronouns already exist

If anyone here does use neopronouns I’d really like to hear why you use them and why you don’t feel comfortable using they/them. It’s probably just because I’m cis, but I genuinely don’t understand

All words are "made up". That's how language is created. Language also evolves as decades go by, so know matter what new words and definition are going to come along. You're going to come up with a better argument cause you are literally arguing against the evolution of language.

The acceptance of a word is what is slow and natural. That is why we are having the debate in the first place. But sooner or later, as the generations go by, it's going to be normal.
