Is it normal i refuse to use ve,ver pronouns to refer to a woman?

There's a woman at my new job she's female but she denies that saying she's not female or male 🤦‍♀️ and her pronouns she made clear are ve,ver, vis.

I don't believe that garbage but with that said I do have another non binary coworker who goes by they/them and I try to use they/them sometimes when talking of her to other coworkers but talking to her/them today I said "Jen told me to tell you she's getting the box in the back for the ornaments" my they/them coworker said "just correcting you it's "ve" so it's "ve's getting the box not she's" so because this was the third time she's/they corrected me throughout the day I kindly told her/them I'm too old for that childish stuff and to please stop. She/they told the woman Jen who goes by ve/ver/vis that I'm using she/her pronouns and she's now being so unnecessarily rude to me it's unbelievable.

I'm way too old for this garbage. Is it normal I refuse to use these baby pronouns that these 18 year olds are using?

    Ve, ver, vis?
    Those are new ones for me. Never heard them before.
    Sometimes I think people just make up new shit everyday just to be a douche bag.

    Maybe just refer to her a Douche Bag as in "Douche Bag is getting the box in the back for ornaments."

    Or add Fucking for "Fucking Douche Bag is getting the box in the back for ornaments."

        Or "The thing is getting the box with ornaments".
        As "thing" is not a rude word, or insult and won't get you into trouble.

            Bonus points for it being a discrete insult if she, or you have watched the movie The Thing.

            Fantastic old-school horror flick.

    Just use Volapük pronouns: call her "of" /of/ (as in loaf) and "ofi" /of.i/ (as in trophy).

    Tell the HR person that they are creating a hostile workplace for you and turn the tables on their wokeness

    • I think I might but HR might say I have to do whatever the non binary people tell me to do because they use us as doormats now

        Then have your lawyer tell them that the workplace is hostile. They will listen to that for sure. But it really helps if you strike first. That makes their argument become weak.

        • Firstly lol why are you using the ridiculous entitled woman's childish pronoun nonsense here?

          Sometimes I do but saying her name for every she/her sounds really odd. "Sam told me that Sam wants you to get this. Sam also did this and Sam said that Sam's shelf is now stocked up but Sam's going to need a few more labels"

        Nope, it is the superior pronoun.
