I don't really have a problem with encouraging people to use gender-neutral language, but the gender neutral pronouns here are cringeworthy and there is really no way someone could convince me to say them.

LARPers use less cringey language.

Also, if someone accidentally misgenders a person, I really don't think that's a problem. Misunderstandings happen. Just get corrected, apologize, accept it, and move on. It's not like an innocent misunderstanding is traumatizing.

Even so I really don't think the solution is to basically just start making up Klingon words for transgender people.
