I actually hate any technology that steals the user's first person pronouns. You are not Me, do not speak for Me. You may be My computer, but you are not allowed to call yourself "My Computer" as though you are Me.
Also if someone uses any first person neopronouns other than Mine, this thing is going to degender them and I think that's a serious concern.
'My' is neutrally ungendered.
You can't misgender someone by not stating their gender.
Very well, I edited it to say "degender" rather than "misgender", but "degender" is a very niche word and I worry that you've made My comment less clear for the sake of pointless semantics.
I meant that using either non-gendered or gender-neutral pronouns should be fine and not considered as misgendering or degendering the user.
Deliberately misgendering/degendering somebody after knowing their pronouns is definitely an issue, but I feel like defaulting to something that applies to probably >99% of the population is ok if you don't know the person's preferred pronouns.
In situations where a pronoun is grammatically appropriate I agree, but I don't think apps should be using a user's first person pronouns for them in the first place, so they're just asking for the trouble. It's their fault for flying too close to the sun.
