Well, it appears that 80s pop star Boy George is not such a fan of the Wokeness Brigade’s emphasis on preferred pronouns for gender nonconforming folks:
Leave your pronoun's at the door!

As much as I love you, that does sound quite ridiculous

Does it, though?
You must refer to me as 'Napoleon' and that's as ridiculous as it gets! I used the ladies toilet throughout the 80s! https://t.co/liApEekeyV

What does it take to show others respect by using their preferred pronouns? I wouldn't not use your name so why would I not use your preferred pronouns? People are too quick to criticise others' lifestyles & identities. If people want attention there's usually a reason. Ask them.

Thanks for that but I have eyes and can mostly describe what I see! https://t.co/VKB6dcAI2Z

Seems pretty safe to say at this point that Boy George won’t be changing his name to young homosexual cis-male person George.
Off to the naughty step with @jk_rowling for you!
I am sure she can help with the apostrophe problem ?

But yes, totally agree. Dump the pronouns!

He is right 🙂
