OK, sure. Let’s say I give you this one. Can you give me an example how I would use doe/deer as a pronoun to refer to a person.
Deer pronouns are doe/deer, and doe has used them for a long time.
It’s pretty simple in this case for the most part, doe/deer can be largely used as she/her would. If you’d otherwise say she say doe, if you’d say her use deer.
I genuinely dont mean this in any offensive way, but I had no idea what your first sentence was even supposed to mean until I realized you were talking about a person after 3 or 4 re-reads and I was literally the person to ask you for an example.
It kind of defeats the purpose of a pronoun if nobody realizes it is even referring to a person when it is used. I am arguing from a point of practicality whereas your opinion is very clearly emotionally charged considering this is your friends preferred pronouns which is understandable.
I feel that this specific discussion has only minor relevance to transgenderism overall, and is a bit more complex than that.

You’re new to this concept and having some trouble getting your head around it, that’s how it goes. It’s kind of hard to conceptualize at first, it was for me. But that’s no excuse for refusing to try
How does it defeat the purpose when deer pronouns are going to be on deer posts? It will make it easier, obviously there’s gonna be some confusion but what’s wrong with that? It’s just an adjustment period.
Not to mention how valuable that getting normalized could be for people.
imagine if you were a comrade lurking here who goes by a neopronoun sees how much trouble it caused with the majority cishet population, how it might not be worth it to be able to be comfortable and expressive of themself in an online space for expressing oneself among comrades lest they have to see garbage posts like your complaining about a part of who they are.
Cause guess what that’s not hypothetical, that’s what you’ve done here
Do you see how your attitude is the one that’s defeating the purpose here?
No one’s asking you to get a neopronoun, no ones asking you to think they’re cool, just respect it when a human being shares how they prefer being reffered to
Why is it somehow your job to decide the line here?
You say minor, I say small % of the population, but the thing is that does not reduce the significance of showing the bare minimum solidarity wtf.
While its a small subset of the community, who’s to say how many more would be more comfortable with a neopronoun if it were a widespread concept.
