Pronoun issues

Debate Information

As we all know, prnouns became a very clear thing in early 2016-2017 and has now gotten out of hand, going far beyond the He/she/they pronouns. Now it has just gotten absurd with what kids can now "Identify" as. I am a gay man, and I have dated a trans person, I am perfectly fine with that, however, I start having issues whenever someone wants to be called a gender to which they do not look like (Like a boy wanting to be a girl and making no effort to look like a girl). In schools, teachers will now ask what students pronouns are at the start of school years and personally, I find it ridiculous. I am not comfortable with the idea of pronouns being as big a topic and do not think it is as important as anything else, since whenever I am talking about a person, I will call them by name, and by what they look like. What are your thoughts on pronouns? Should they be a mandatory question to ask students in classrooms? Or for job interviews? Or should the child who wants to be called different finally grow a pair and tell others without having to be asked?
