The only reason why I’d say society doesn’t need to cater to individualized pronouns other than a set of agreed terms for flexibility and inclusion is so that every single time someone interacts with a person, they don’t have to work too hard to collaborate and cooperate.

Remember that everyone is trying to self actualize, and and any one person is not here to cater to just your preferences. Some people have limited mental capacity, so it’s just kinder to forgo imposing all of your self expressing desires on them.

If you can express yourself and live and thrive, then that’s all that matters. It doesn’t matter that you convince every single asshole that your pronouns should be whatever/whatever.
