Using pronouns isn't a "problem" though, it's that people genuinely don't care.
I don't care very much if I'm honest. I've never interacted with someone who informed me that their pronouns were not the usual ones.
Gender-concerned people telling me how to speak is like fundamentalists telling me to wear a dress. I tell them both to piss up a rope.
I don't understand. What is the middle ground between "you should refer to trans people by their chosen gender" and "you shouldn't refer to trans people by their chosen gender"? Do you flip a coin?
Yes indeed.
