Imagine a person who may not enjoy being called “she” (this may very well be true for you, if you are a regular cis amab). And I mean being called that not once, but constantly, by all your family, friends, and coworkers, every day.
Now imagine they also actually, in exactly the same way, do not enjoy being called “he” (like cis afabs tend not to).
Now imagine, it just so happens, that they also do not enjoy being called “they”.
What do you do then?
You look for alternatives.
Neopronouns + etc. are nothing more then the natural conclusion of people recognising themselves of not fitting within our class-society-constructed gender norms, but having no reference but the existing framework to work with.
They do no harm, allow the speaker to feel more comfortable and express themselves more accurately, and are no more inconvenient than trying to remember somebody’s name or alias (and god knows I’m bad at remembering names but that’s ok!).
As @ana also mentioned, they are a sign of transition towards a less restrictive/gender-“abolished” society, which I am 100% in favor of.
Generally, I do not believe it makes sense to oppose this in any way, and if anything, Marxists should protect people using them like they should any other LGBT person.
@SaddamHusein24 I think you have a small misunderstanding. The patriotism of actual Marxists, dare I say even in America, should be upheld - and I mean the patriotism of wanting your country to be destroyed and reborn as Lenin said, and to flourish for all the American people. The genuine belief that the American worker should be supported and treated fairly, regardless of minority grouping, and that they deserve better is a great thing!
The “patriotism” of “PatSocs” is vastly different. PatSocs are a very specific reactionary group with specific views here in the west. They believe that we should all hunker down and throw away the “liberal wokeness that is internationalism” and put trans people in gulgas since they’re “lib degenerates” and that’s what Stalin would have wanted. It’s reactionary position not based on any real material analysis, and as such, should be combated.
