Do you not realize how stupid that sounds?

Also, if you do not care about gender neutral speech, just keep out of conversations about it. Nobody likes a concern troll.

Other than the pronouns, which I understand most people in fact prefer to have, and job titles, which are so trivial to fix we're literally in a thread for a meme about it.
