When the non-binary and gender fluid people become a defining majority, linguistics will "naturally" evolve over time to accommodate a third pronoun for them and it will be thru social consensus rather then social or legislative pressure, because by then most families will have such a member in their midst. However, currently they constitute 1 to 2 % of population, and seem to be demanding the remaining 98% to artificially shift their linguistic and cognitive framework to accommodate theirs.
Anyone who fails to see that is an SJW in my book.
Are you somehow of the belief that the only people who can dictate anything at all are people who are in the majority? Slavery was still a horrible thing before it was voted out. The majority means little here on how 'proper' something is or how things 'should' be. Just because everyone says it's right, doesn't mean it necessarily is, and you've had the luxury and patience of being explained to otherwise. All of which you have so far wasted.
Not to mention, linguistics will not evolve if the people who use them are dead-set on it, or if they have to wait to be changed due to the stubborn 'majority' not lending it credence here. You want it to 'naturally' change but your kind of stubbornness is part of what prevents that very change from taking place. You're asking for the impossible, and you're asking to be left in the past with this kind of attitude. You want to hide behind the great big wall of people who will agree that you're right instead of listening to the people telling you
why exactly this is important.
"The defining majority." - seriously? Is your excuse that measly?
When you "demand them" to do that, you are basically trying to override their framework of how they perceive and communicate reality. It is a form of dictating your perception of reality and alternative social norms onto others, and is thereby wrong.
A lot of people do things they don't like because it's more polite, or whatever it is. Confining your reality to only the limits of what you can experience is extremely narrow-minded and backwards. Confining your behaviours to what you
think is most acceptable based of consensus of only the majority is extremely intellectually sloppy, not at all critical (you seem to ironically be a fan of 'critical thinking', whatever your idea of that is), and is on the slippery slide on the way to being bigoted. Besides, a lot of people have their 'framework' overridden (updated, rather) in many ways- intellectual pursuits and some spiritual paths require you to take on, learn, or adapt to new ideologies. If you are wrong, you just are, and that old framework would be worth updating.
And it's not even about dictating perceptions of reality. You can keep thinking what you want inside, but you must respect a person's basic right to be received for who they are and at the barest of minimums not trash that even if you disagree. Every person dictates their own reality in the sense that they are the best judge of who they are and what they want, a concept you do not seem to respect.
If you are dead-set on not treating people who fall outside your comfort zone the way they prefer due to your capricious pickiness, yeah, you're better off in the mountains (or whatever dystopia you are in that ignores any voice that isn't the majority) than in society. A lot of people have taken the time out of their day to explain this to you from multiple angles. Are you sure your argument of 'it's not the majority'- or whatever else it is- isn't just some measly way to hide your own bigoted, lazy ways? You don't want to change. It discomforts you. It's all about you. Do you even think about how much it discomforts the other person either? No real discussion. No middle ground. Just stubbornly digging your heels into your preferences. Calling out people's absolutely reasonable discomfort as entitlement in a bad way. Yes, you know what? They are
entitled to basic respect, basic respect that for whatever reason you are ignoring for... Slavishly following the 'defining majority'? Your attitude is what is falling outside of that basic respect, not theirs.
You don't even seem to truly be working based off the rule of majority. If you were, you'd have listened to us as blindly as you listen to the majority of wherever you are. This is a tell that you really are listening to them because they happen to be more convenient to your worldview and thus are a convenient excuse for maintaining them, instead of admitting to any one of us here who has called you out that you can't actually take advice.
Some of the problem with 'SJWs' of the annoying flavour that everyone is complaining about are their extremism and incredible noise, unwillingness to look at the facts, instead being reactionary and vocal in their discomfort at the expense of others, and insisting on their own interpretation of reality with little hope for real dialogue. You may not be standing in the same camp they are but you're doing very similar things. The absolute irony.
