I’m happy Republicans have yet another insignificant item over which to clutch their collective pearls.

It's a sign of being undistinguished to state one's pronouns...Tell that to all transpeople....

Don't act like it doesn't already. It's most likely transphobic.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

It’s my understanding that the audience for the round table included more than a few trans and non-binary people. Stating one’s pronouns in such a situation is considered inclusive and polite.
The physical description is an accepted accommodation for the visually impaired who were in attendance.

Subjects like yourself are used to stuff sounding like "you shall address me as "Your Royal Highness"."
Fuck that.
What' s it say on your driver' s license? What your parents named you? I'll call you that - unless you want to make an issue of it - in which case I'll use choice adjectives....

Damn all those insignificant beige beings, with their gangbanging and their pronouns.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

You don't think it's polite to refer to people how they want?
You, personally, refer to people by something other than what they were named by their parents. I've seen you do it.

When I get introduced to someone - their given name is enough - unless they've earned an honorific - such as military rank - or civic title (mayor, Senator, ect). I will then use that. Monarchs, kings and popes can kiss my ass - they did dick to earn the honorific. Ditto goes for anyone who wants to tell me what special pronouns or other descriptors I need to use in their presence.
You, personally, refer to people by something other than what they were named by their parents. I've seen you do it..
But was I creative? I do try to be when some assbag deserves it.
