I've noticed a couple of newspaper columnists dropping the ridiculous she/her thing. But they were the ones who were against the men pretending to be women, anyway. 
 

I can understand avoidance. It's a reasonable attempt to remain stating truth while considering the poor confused person's feelings. Hopefully a small step towards reality for them on their longer journey.

If you bumped into the artist Grayson Perry in his female alter ego as "Claire", would you refer to him as him, her or them?

if He has a Y chromosome it's Him, He, His etc. Otherwise it's her, she, hers etc. I refuse to join in on this "non binary" cobras so they sound like more than one person.

Grayson has made it clear he doesn't give two hoots how you address him when he is wearing a frock. He may be 'different' but he isn't fanatical or militant. He describes himself as a transvestite.

Just heard someone on Today refer to an actor who was reading a 'letter home from Europe by an American GI' as 'she', when the voice was obviously male and this actor is playing a male role in a film.

the ruling of the courts was on access to single sex spaces. trans people still exist and if you wish to be a dick to them then you still can. you do not have any right to instruct that other people join you on that. 

i think it's possible you misheard something jourdain. it happens with age. 

no it wasn't

the ruling was that trans women are not eligible for the protections afforded to women under the equality act, chiefly but not exclusively access to single sex facilities. they ruled that such protections apply only to those who are born women and not those undergoing transition. 
 

they did not make a ruling outside of those circumstances concerning whether or not trans people exist... they did clarify however that gender identity is a protected characteristic under the equality act.

in other words the ruling is not relevant to your question about pronouns. 

The judgment states,

'It is not the role of the court to adjudicate on the arguments in the public domain on the meaning of gender or sex, nor is it to define the meaning of the word “woman” other than when it is used in the provisions of the [Equality Act] 2010. It has a more limited role which does not involve making policy.’

Hopefully, it will be dropped.

Because this is what happened when we tried to 'Be kind'.....

your question is whether or not the supreme court ruling has stopped the use of preferred pronouns and the answer is no because the ruling is not relevant to that subject... 

unless you'd like to limit the free speech of everyone who disagrees with you, you will be heartbroken to know that there's no way to stop others from treating trans people with respect.

//untitled, my question is not about whether or not trans people exist.  They exist in their own heads and in the heads of their defenders//

But not in your tiny mind?
