For the life of me, I can’t understand why they care about someone’s sexual orientation or their pronoun.

They don't. It's classic divide and conquer tactics to package up the general population into nice bite-sized chunks that they can destroy individually with minimal resistance from the others. Exact same shit is how the Nazis rose to power.

Despite people perhaps still believing this, I believe it was largely disproven in the 1960s by the Milgram experiment.
