I would argue calling all they/them is the opposite of misgendering. “They” has no gender. It is neuter.

“Intentional non-gendering” seems sensible and inoffensive. No chance of misgendering anyone.

I don’t consider “devolving” to mean tracing back evolutionary paths but, instead, adaptations that we don’t value.

Take Idiocracy for example. Humanity selectively breeding to become dumber with every genration. Devolving, not backwards, but away from intelligence.

Planned obsolescence. When the battery finally dies, you can’t use it wired.
