There are quite a few variations on "e" pronouns, and some of those were specifically designed to be universal.
So instead of she/he or singular they people could just write e without being exclusionary or ambiguous as to number.
Some of those were also meant to be anti-speicist, so animals can be called e instead of it when gender is unknown.

Another goal would be to slowly replace all gendered pronouns with e, until the language is ungendered.
Saying he or she quickly can sometimes sound like just e so the transition into causally using e could be a natural one.

I do not know if most "e" pronoun usage is ungendered, but I personally do not assume somebody is NB when using "e" pronouns.

There is some contention about this though; transgender people often get called they when they specifically request he or she.
Almost all binary transgender people do not want to be misunderstood as some "third gender" or to be ungendered as it were.

It is precisely association of "e" pronouns with NB gender that cuts against those broader goals.
If that is ever to become "the E pronoun for everybody" then specifically cisgender people have to start using them for themselves.

So... yeah... in utopia "e" pronouns might be the only ones that exist.
There would still be genders, but those would not be mentioned every time you refer to somebody.

There is no consensus within trans/NB communities if this could be a good thing right now, but I personally tend to be in favor.

It is not that bad since glass can be easily melted down to make new glass, but that is assuming people are recycl--- oh no, america wat r u doin, stahp
I still keep the nice jars, even though recycling is easy and efficient where I live.

And then I sort my glass jars into large plastic containers and make stacks. ADHD is magical.

I have started using glass jars for sorting random items, mostly little notes of ideas/reminders about various topics.

This is totally sentimental but: you are ready, it is your family that is not ready.

something something disagreement is the route to clarification

I had described most of these ideas in another thread some time ago...
TL;DR: adding NSFL tags has almost no cost and significant benefit, simple "CW:<...>" has higher cost with insufficient benefit, better tagging might be achievable.

/r/BPT also verifies allies, forearm picture is only used because that takes less time and effort.
But you are missing the point, I mention /r/BPT because they show the principle of identities being co-opted for trolling, and they have been very successful at combating that.
I was not suggesting that you copy their methods.

It would be only vetting pronouns when those are custom requests besides provided defaults.
So only things like cat/girl, xe/xim, zir/zey, where selecting those pronouns might otherwise be abused.

That would not be a task for admins, but rather for mods of relevant communities to figure out themselves.
It takes only a cursory glance at post history to decide if somebody is sincere or trolling in most cases.

It is not about verifying gender identity, but verifying that they are not low effort trolling.
Even on /r/BPT people could fabricate pictures to get verified, it is not about getting perfect accuracy.
Quantity has a quality all its own.

Mods could require some minimum posting history, other users could vouch, figure out on discord, those details would be up to mods themselves.
They could adjust their approach depending upon how many custom pronoun requests those threads actually get.

Again this would only be applicable to pronouns that cannot simply be added to the drop-down list.
And it is only for filtering out trolls.

Another example /r/science also has custom flair that gets verified by mods: https://www.reddit.com/r/science/wiki/flair
That is effective both when number of requests is limited (/r/science, people using neopronouns) or verification process is simple (/r/BPT in most cases).

Another illustrative case is /r/polandball where users can set their own flair, but mods also award custom trophy flairs when users win competitions.

If select mods/admins could assign custom pronouns to users, then it would be possible to have pronoun request sticky threads in relevant communities.
I do not think it is possible for the current system to do both: give people all combinations they want, and avoid some combinations being used as jokes.

Some sincere identities are used as insults by others. Many slurs also function as pronouns, and while those should obviously not be allowed here, those do illustrate the contradiction you are dealing with here.
It could be worth taking /r/BlackPeopleTwitter as an example here, they actually verify that some users are allies or have the racial identity that they claim to have.

Only potential problem I see is that NSFW is being used so much as a joke.
When you avoid NSFW that means missing out on funny shitposts.

So if NSFL is added there should probably be a rule/notice that it can only be used seriously.

I wonder if "muh lib" might be a better default. It is funny and also encourages people to change it.

Adding "by name" could be better because then at least people know what to do.
Also "comrade" is a pronoun that could be used even for those with "no pronoun" making it technically incorrect.

Anyone who uses the word "performatively" unironically should be performatively ground into a paste.

"Chinese delegation, Jerusalem March, September 2013" via image source
Jerusalem March happens annually with the Sukkot (one of three pilgrimage festivals in Judaism) and is largely organized by the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem and attended mostly by Christian evangelicals.

It is "an exciting way to show your nation loves Israel" to quote this promotional video.
Here is a short video of the parade in 2019. (also worth noting the significance of rainbows in Judaism/Christianity relates to the seven laws of Noah)

Edit: obviously these "delegations" are not government sponsored. Christian evangelicals just like to make a big thing out of "proclaiming to all nations" with flags and such.

oh you remind me of that infamous discord server...
paternalism and concern trolling really means a lot coming from a damaged child like you.

daww... this control freak sounds upset.
Were did the mean trans people hurt you?

My argument was implicitly about formalized assessment where anti-cheating measures are required.

Even so, most researchers and independent learners are quite capable of gauging their own understanding without any external testing or assessment.
And when people attend lectures simply out of curiosity they can become educated entirely without assessment.

I do not undervalue testing, if anything I would endorse all classes using brief informal testing on a weekly or even daily basis.
But I am opposed to the misuse of testing as metrics for performance. An effective test is one where people make plenty of mistakes, otherwise not much learning is happening.
