  I’ve never seen some specify that they want different second person pronouns, but hey new things every day.

    It doesn’t really make any sense since first and second person pronouns aren’t gendered. When I refer to “you” it means “whoever I’m talking to” without implying anything about the person or persons other than that I intend my message for them. There’s just no reason to change that. Not “no good reason” but “no reason”.

    They even refer to themselves as ‘it’ in the first person, which just breaks comprehensibility entirely if you don’t already know what they’re talking about.

  y’know, when people started getting snippy about pronouns, I often said I was just going to start calling them an “it”.

  I never thought someone would want that.
