Forcing people to eat tacos, won’t someone think of the children!

On an individual level, its not a belief. On a macro level, the movement itself, and the agenda behind it certainly fits the definition of a cult.
You mean the movement to build awareness, acceptance, love, and openness towards a group have been marginalized, harassed, belittled, and disowned because of who they are? Sounds like quite the cult to me...

We both know what I was talking about. Oh well, I’m sure we’ve now come to the point where saying you and I is offensive to someone. Can’t ever keep everyone happy.
I don't think people get offended if someone accidentally refers to them with the incorrect pronouns. It would be the recurring and intentional misuse of pronouns that get people upset.

You can add 'we' to the list of pronouns you use but don't use.

Hey, I'm old and stogey. I'm not a fan of the flexible pronoun thing, but if it makes someone more comfortable in themeselves, is it really that big of a deal to do it out of mutual respect?

It's all about respect. That's it.
