The debate is concerning a law passed in Canada called Bill C-16 that makes it a criminal offense to "misgender" someone (referring to people by any words other than their pronouns of choice, including words such as zie/hir, ey/em/eir and co).
you can say I was living in a cave for the past few years, but what are this pronouns, it seems like it would hurt transgender people, since their condition can be proven with a brain scan, but all the extra pronouns seem to just serve people that just think they are "unique" or behave differently so they will have a "gender" that better describes them.
another thing, how will it work in different languages and countries?
I doubt that every country will make it mandatory to call someone by their own pronouns so employing such a law in one country might cause problems when people move to different countries because no one will ensure that the people in those countries will use those pronouns.
would be nice to get a response from someone who knows more and can explain it to me.
