Well, I do mind using preferred pronouns, and I refuse to humor such absurd bullcrap.
I have news for the author---his father-in-law, the "lady", is a hairy-legged man in a dress, just as Bruce Jenner isn't a she or an it, but a self-mutilated male. I don't care what's "in his mind"...in my mind, I won the lottery last week and I'm driving a new Jaguar. It hasn't affected reality, though.
Steve Deace got it right in response to this article. He said when the right humors this kind of thing and goes along with it, the right always loses ground to the left.
