Arguing with some hogs about it and not sure where I stand. Feel like it's a noble goal that should happen some day, but personally, if I had a kid I wouldn't do it because I'd fear they'd get bullied for it. Thoughts?

This is definitely an "after the cultural revolution" thing to do. There's nothing that's going to traumatize kids using they/them pronouns until they decide inherently, but rather it would come from being a target for bullying in our current society. In the mean time, raising children without enforcing and indeed combating gender roles (kids are actually traumatized, trans and cis alike, by the social pressure to meet gender roles), and letting them know that being trans is a thing anyone can be from a young age.
