It’s not fun interacting with them when they often want to engage in ad hominems. This is why I have no interest in the tankie triad.

Exactly this. Xenopronouns are just as valid as any other pronoun. PJ and Philip seem to be mostly ok with “traditional” (lol) trans pronouns like “xir/xe” or “they/them” so they think they are good trans allies. But they are only allies to certain types of “mainstream” trans folks. Because everything has to be mainstream before a Democrat will ever consider supporting it, in my experience. The moment the pronouns get “too weird” they all start freaking out. Xenopronouns? Forget about it! I’ve even seen it argued that xenopronouns are anti-trans (somehow)? Who knows, but it seems there’s a bunch of LW folks who seem to be that its fine to hate on folks who use them.
