I disagree. The way I see it is this: the trend of making up new pronouns, or demanding that pronouns should be asked rather than assumed, is kind of a power play. You HAVE to give up what's normal or face various punishments, in the institutions which are forcing this. Just for a random example, say The Mandalorians female star Gina Carano being fired in an argument that was about her refusing to put pronouns in her Twitter profile ("People can tell I'm a woman.") You might see this sort of thing as necessary to forcibly normalize some trans or gender ideas, but it violates my mantra of "just leave people alone".
I also really don't see where the constitution has been violated, even allegedly, in regards to this particular issue. It turns out it that pushing this unpopular idea was taking a lot of federal money based on executive orders, not congressional vote, and trump used his executive power to simply cancel a lot of those orders.
It's a really big case of "It's not important! JUST DO WHAT I SAY, RIGHT NOW! Why do you care so much? SO DO IT OR ELSE!"
