Loving the fact that they specifically stated they will be talking more about the status of the upcoming customizable pronouns

That makes me super happy!

Yes, that one little word, customizeable, suggesting a fill-in-yourself dropbox, makes all the difference for me, too :)

(A little excourse: I thought german didn't have gender neutral pronouns, then I looked the matter up and found that we opted for the strangest neo pronouns ever: xier/xies/xiesem. Whoever thought that starting a word with x was a good idea probably never tried using it in a normally paced conversation. Another article mentioned that many noninary germans accept they/them, so that's what my sims will use.)

As a fellow german comrades, who deals a lot with buerocratic language, and so far I haven't got an order so far to use them (I heard about the first time but I do know about the y as a gender replacement in words), so I would say, they didn't decide for everyone what we have to use, they decided for themselves what they want to use and hear. Other people may choose other words. Did you remember, years ago some experts had created a new word for 'not thirsty', no one ever use it, I even forgot it. These people can try to create new words, we have the right language for such experiments, but the time will tell if such words become common or not. So far I know, they not official acknowledge. I mean, I looked for an official greeting form for the official third gender, but only found a informal version, which sounds awfully disrespectful, compared to the Mr and Mrs in an official letter.

I'm more than happy, that the pronounce becomes customizable, I will leave them how they are, until it becomes clear which words will be used.
