Julius Caesar was assassinated for wearing red boots. Barrack Obama was lambasted for wearing a tan suit. Purple is associated with royalty, white is associated with clergy, and gold is associated with superiority. Red and Blue have powerful meanings in America, and so does Green. Which colour is the most political in your opinion?

    Is drag to understand that your position is that pronouns cannot sound similar to the names of the people who have them?

    Somebody should tell Sheila and Hector they need to change their pronouns, then.

      The problem is that you don’t know what a pronoun is. You should try writing a sentence with common pronouns first and see if your sentence makes any grammatical sense. For instance “is <name> to understand that…” doesn’t work, because “is me/I to understand” doesn’t work. You would instead say “Am drag to understand”, which while sounding a bit odd is at least actually writing in English.
