CMV: Forcing Everyone to Memorize Neopronouns is Ableist

I wrote a full piece explaining why I think this way. But I'll try to summarize it here. The first issue is that not everyone has the same skill in memorizing names and assignments between names and people. There's something called "dysnomia" which is an extreme case of this phenomenon.

The idea that it's no problem to have to memorize pronoun assignments is ableist. It assumes that everyone simply can learn these things. I'm personally not able to remember names well at all. I would have to ask repeatedly. And even then I'd be very likely to forget. At that point, someone would want to know ***why*** I keep asking. Thus, I would have to bring up my neurodivergence every time I want to have a conversation, and reference someone who does not accept "they" as a neutral and universal pronoun.

One counter argument is that it's not "forced." Technically true. There's no law. However, it is considered offensive to use the wrong pronoun. Sometimes doing so, even unintentionally, results in a significant amount of tension. "They" works fairly well. And even if we don't converge on the use of "they" so long as people were only with gender neutral pronouns in general, regardless of which one was used, eventually English would converge.

***Update***

I'll try to update this part as I go. I think one of the most absurd responses to this CMV has been "just do better." Well, if it were that easy, we wouldn't have accommodations for people with differences in ability. 

Additionally, respect goes both ways. I respect people who are gender non-conforming. I have no issue with people who express their personal gender identity. I do have an issue with people who make it my business. Another person shouldn't have to know your gender to engage with you. It's really that simple. Requiring otherwise is not mutual respect. It's trying to dominate the relationship.

... Who is forcing anyone to memorize tons of "neopronouns"?  It's really not rude to ask for clarification or to say the wrong thing on accident.  If somebody asks you to call them a particular thing and you make a good effort to do so, that's pretty much all anybody is asking.  Nobody is being honestly asked for perfect recall.
