  Not everything needs to be legislated, nor should it be.  Certainly pronouns should not be legislated.
  
  The word "they" already has a definition and although you are free to try and redefine it, you can't expect others to do so.  I am much happier using new words like ze and hir rather than trying to redefine an existing word.
  
  The discussion about the exact pronouns that the person would like to be called is really quite irrelevant.  I am a man.  I am called he and him. I have had no say in this, and frankly my say is irrelevant.  This is what society expects to call me and it would be stupid to fight that.  We just need neutral pronouns for those that don't identify as a gender, and they need to be accepted by all of society, not just by those that don't identify with a gender.
