i would imagine it's the middle-aged and older volunteers who are struggling to come to terms with the change in language. having spent some time growing up and ingesting media like youtube which is full of references to terms like cisgender, it leaves the youth in an easier position. this is their lingo.
it's quite an interesting exercise to think on the run, as you talk to someone or a group of people, to try to remove any gendered terms from what you're about to say. which is occasionally something i need to do at my place of employment.

that said, the moral high ground is a fairly small and precarious patch of turf. you only have to peruse any number of reddit threads to see pro-lgbtqi+ rights people arguing over whether or not someone is using the correct definition, or what that definition means, which is an odd position to take given gender has become inextricably tied to individuality and respecting another's own perceptions of their body.
there is some irony in using gender-neutral terms to accommodate everyone - once you get to know transgender individuals you may learn that gendered terms are in fact their preference.

one of the more interesting takes on creating new gender terms i've heard is not that they are being made up from thin air, but they have given names to things that have already existed.
Cate Macgregor was unfairly attacked by many in the GLBTIQ Community because she stated that she would not have liked to have been Schooled in a gender neutral education system. I like Cate being a transwoman never wanted my gender identity to effect any other persons. As a transwoman my gender identity is very important to me and I don't wish to be identified as gender neutral. I had my Nsw Birth Certificate amended to female in 2006.

If you have never done a sieg heil as a joke ur a liar.

Does Hogan's Heroes offend you?
Someone doing a nazi salute in a crowd at a sporting event doesn't equal Hogan's Heroes, especially if you knew the background of that show

A private cricket club contacted the police. Privately owned media have made it an issue.

What does this have to do with the left?
The left forced it to happen in the face of a leftist-inspired public outcry, which would make politicians pull funding from sport.

Or something.

A nazi salute getting more attention than a person actually getting blown up by a hand grenade in a Stockholm metro station attack. Just your typical day in Sweden and on bigfooty
That's Sweden in the 21st century for you. Once widely regarded as the safest country in the world, now destroyed by the rabid left and their fetish of mass immigration from third world countries.
