Culture and gender aren't linked.
Does culture tell you if someone's gender, sexual preferences, what kind of car they drive, whether or not they're a furry, what god(s) they do or do not believe in, etc.?
Don't put people in boxes based on your limited world view.
Think about the limit. When we're uploaded to the matrix, you'll finally be able to be whatever gender you want to be without fear for the stupid stigmas of this world. You can try lots of things. You can be a man, woman, multi-gender foxperson, or a stoic agender deity. Maybe lots of things. You'll be free.
Let people be who they are.
You be who you are.
Just be happy.
What a hypocrite -- feel free to let people be who they are, as long as I can force you to call them a word I want.
You opened this thread by lecturing others on the pronouns they used for the article author with no standing to do so. Who are you and why are you more authoritative on the author's pronouns than the person you attempted to correct?
Do you not understand how claiming to support people's pronouns and then bravely using gender neutral pronouns for everyone who doesn't specify is a bit hyprocritical? Most people identify happily and it's as rude to misgender them as anyone.
It's a form of unasked for activism (it's done by an "ally") and it ropes people like yourself who are presumably not 'on the acronym' into supporting craziness that, if you're honest with yourself, would make you hate people who espoused. Both casually as one hates warm beer and gray weekends, but also in the sense of being inspired to actually work against the general freer society we've been building for decades.
Actual allies can help by not joining in on the trolling.

To be clear, I never forced you to do anything. You just got angry at me.
