Not only that, but almost everything seems to “offend” someone (or group).
Can I say I find people set on being offended by something or anything or everything to be quite offensive? That is, I am offended by their offensive offense!

This gender insanity is strange considering that the English language has perfectly serviceable neuter form: it! Don't want to be referred to by your X or Y chromosome? Use the neuter pronoun. You can have mailman replaced with "mail-it" or even an "it-it"! 🤣

What do you call a baby Amish? An Amlet (omelette). Yes I know that’s pretty lame.
I’m of the opinion that all this political correctness is the result of the tendency for today’s young men to be a bunch of wimpy, whining crybabies whose parents never let them grow a backbone. I don’t approve of male chauvinists, but I’m talking about males that support their families, put their wife and kids first and don’t whine about poor me when they don’t get their way. But I’m just old fashioned.

People without much going on in their lives seem to look for issues to rant about.

Forget about 'woke'; let's just 'sleep' (live without care) and use words like female or male, woman or man, girl or boy, she or he, her or him as often as possible in our daily communications, whether relevant or not to the topic.

Crazy times are getting crazier daily, and I cannot keep up with the "preferred pronouns" anymore. I watched a gal's video that wanted her pronouns to be "bug" and "bug's self". So to those that are gender confused, please wear a name tag so that I don't misname, misgender, or use your dead name when I order my cup of coffee to go. Rather than being social with someone serving me as I have been in the past, I avoid addressing them entirely other than saying "please" and "thanks" now and going on my way.

I promise to try my hardest to treat all people with respect, and it can be important in clinical practice to know your sexual orientation, but I refuse to be responsible for remembering what pronoun or pronouns with which you prefer to be addressed. Electronic medical records are now being "upgraded" to support various changes in gender and pronoun preference. But when the local clinic's records conflict with the hospital or insurance company records, you can expect chaos. "Yes, I know that I haven't done a Pap smear on that patient..." or "Well, yes, I AM billing for a Pap smear for Robert, who identifies as a man....".
