People hurt, usually both sides. Mutual acknowledgement is a start of a dialog. To expect empathy one should first give it back.
The way you do not see how behavior was not balanced you hurt me. I expect my words could hurt you. I try my best to avoid it.
Equality is a line on the sand. For some reason you've decided only your line is true. Tradition says another line is true. From that point of view your line is subverting the language. And language got hurt a lot, like some words are bastards and there is no equality for them.
The loss of clarity. I am not native language speaker yet I feel language becoming slippery, that hurts. Entire generations could loss sharp of mind just because some people want to change meaning instead of inventing new words. What's in "marriage" for you? How about "unity"? Why do you want all the baggage of forced marriage, child marriage? What would you do with "father" and "mother", "uncle" and "aunt"? What about that stream of he/she? Get noun genders like many other languages if you care that much.
Language is alive. Current state can be just a swing waiting to turn back into nonsense babbling criticized by Orwell [1]. Invent your own metaphors. We have had grammar nazi, now we've got LGBT nazi. Fear us, lie to us, conform us or mob will lynch. Can you imagine what would happen if Brendan asked LGBT employees to step down? If no, please, do not respond.
