Bro just use singular they. Why is it so hard.

because people change their pronouns and they get pissed off if you use the wrong one.

I've had trans people tell me their pronoun. OK, cool. Then a few weeks/months later, they change it. Then they jump down my throat for not knowing the new one they have picked. One person I know was she/they, now they are he. well sorry if I didn't check your FB status or whatever to see when you updated it.... but last time I talked to this person and used the old pronoun they went OFF on me about what a facist I am or something. (let me add this person IDs as androgynous and claims to be asexual and does not have a gendered appearance)

Look, most trans people are cool, but there are a few out there who are DETERMINED to be complete assholes about it. And it's like... ok I'm not going to bother anymore. I'd rather just avoid them entirely, just like I avoid middle-aged white women like the plague since too many of them have Karen syndrome.
