        Why is being witty the default stance, instead of an honest statement?

          Writing out a person’s full name/tag every time you reference them is not practical (see my previous comment), so one wouldn’t give this as reason against third person references in a serious discussion.

            If the genesis of the entire issue with chosen pronouns is about basic respect, personal convinience can take a back seat and we can adress a person by name.

            But then again, I’m often viewed as petty in my personal peeves.

            Better to just not talk about someone and instead just talk with the person.
