I believe its "Zee" and "hir," actually.
That looks to me more like a list of gender identities and gender expressions, not a list of 31 genders.Here are the 31 genders officially recognized by NYC in case anyone is confused. Each is free to invent their own pronouns that you are compelled by law to use.

Meh. I think asshole is appropriate since if I continually called one of my male coworkers "she" out of spite, I'd be an asshole, too.
But being an asshole isn't against the law and being "offended" doesn't make anyone a victim.

I forgot about those. I think it's actually "Xee" instead of "Zee". They just pronounce the X as a Z. This is according to my 19yo in college.
Geez, lady, simmer down.But they change their pronouns and add to them frequently. Trying to keep up with how all of these people feel and whether they are he or she that day is not my problem. My daughter is having to deal with this at college. If a non-binary wants to be known as them or they and you refer to them as he or she then you are on the shit list with them. That's bullshit.
But then you are bullying other people.

You get a choice of Mr or Ms. I'll take foreign words under consideration if you're from that foreign place, but otherwise, pick one of the two.I'm fine with calling somebody by their preferred pronouns as long as I get to stick with genuine words. I'm too old to deal with made up crap.

You may go to jail someday then. Canada, the United States, and the UK are all adopting laws that make not using preferred pronouns illegal. It's starting small, sometimes at local levels, but there will eventually be a push that if you don't refer to your long, pink haired coworker who wears dresses and has a five o'clock shadow and a dick that considers himself "pixie kin" with the pronouns fae/faem/faeself that you are guilty of hate speech.
Yeah, "other kin," people who think they are a non-human soul trapped in a human body, are a real thing.
That's not what a pronoun is for. It's not there to define what a person is down to fine details. It's there to make the language work. You may as well complain that a table is feminine in French.You may go to jail someday then.

I'm fine if Kevin (who is six foot four and 110k with a huge beard ) wants to wear a dress, be called Charlotte and be referred to as a woman. I'm actually fine with the state paying for gender reassignment surgery and basic plastic surgery for her as well. I also think that Charlotte gets the same rights and privileges as everyone else and doesn't get treated differently at work than everyone else.
That doesn't give Charlotte the right to butcher the English language though. She gets to pick he or she. That's how English works.

languageAll words are made up.
language
ˈlaŋɡwɪdʒ/
noun
- 1.
the method of human communication, either spoken or written, consisting of the use of words in a structured and conventional way.
Your name is there to refer to you specifically. The pronoun is just there because the English language needs one, stop trying to use it for something it's not meant to be for.
Well "all words are made up" isnt an argument. It's a fatuous statement that doesn't really mean anything and doesn't convey a point.This neither refutes what I said, nor does it reinforce your argument.
