I still just can't see how someone could get offended by a pronoun. 

I know, right ?
What is next ?
Banning pronouns in the workplace ?

But someone using one of the new pronouns and identifying as agender probably shouldn't get worked up if someone isn't familiar with whatever pronoun was invented for them. 

The sad thing is that the SJWs are never happy and will complain, no matter what.
What will happen next is people will be offended when the new pronouns are used, insisting that they are offended that someone is using the generic and not recognizing who/what they truly are.

*edit*
I do want to add that I believe that someone should be addressed, as they wish.
However, they cannot expect someone to just guess.
