do we also have to keep lists of who wants to be addressed how 
(he/she/it/they/them/hir/xir/flurry/... and whatever else someone might come up 
with)?

My point is: in case someone *wants* (for whatever reason) to be offended then 
that someone
*    will be*, amount to their liking, no matter what. 

And should such a someone be able to weaponize a CoC there is the chance of 
exactly that happening, possibly causing as much damage
    as can be done in doing so.  Please don't hand out the equivalent of loaded 
guns for people to point in directions you
    might never envision others to point them, simply from the fact that
    you wouldn't even get such an idea as you're
    acting in good faith toward others. Hint: Not everyone is like that and 
with a gameable thing like a CoC there's a good chance to attract the ones that 
are *not*.
 
IMHO this should simply be discarded and replaced by a simple *don't be an 
asshole* - for really problematic cases there is law enforcment.
