Honestly? I think neopronouns are a perfectly legitimate way for some people to express their gender or relationship to language, even if they’re not something everyone personally understands or would use.
My take is basically:
* If someone asks me to use them, I’ll use them. It’s a pretty small courtesy.
* Some neopronouns (xe/xem, ze/zir, etc.) have been around for quite a while.
* Others are more intentionally unconventional (fae/faer, bun/buns, etc.), and I can understand why people might find those harder to intuitively grasp.
* You don’t necessarily have to “get it” philosophically to respect someone’s preference.
* At the same time, I don’t think someone struggling to remember an unfamiliar pronoun automatically makes them hateful or malicious. Language takes practice, especially when it’s unfamiliar.
I also think there’s a distinction between “I personally find this linguistic concept strange” and “people who use this are ridiculous and shouldn’t be respected.” The first is an opinion; the second is just being a dick. 😂
And honestly, English is already a deeply weird language. We’ve collectively decided that “you” can be singular or plural, “they” can be singular, and “set” apparently needs approximately 900 definitions. So I’m not going to pretend language is some perfectly immutable system. 😭

Neopronouns are a category of newly coined or adopted third-person pronouns that do not tie a person to traditional gender binaries like "he" or "she," or even standard gender-neutral options like "they".
Common Examples and Usage
Neopronouns usually follow standard grammatical patterns (subject, object, possessive, reflexive):
• Ze / hir / hirs: "Ze went to the store to get hir bag."
• Xe / xem / xyr: "Xe went to the store to get xyr bag."
• Ey / em / eir: "Ey went to the store to get eir bag."
