actually this does happen. Do you believe our doctors in ED or obgyn refer to these patients as anything other than their correct biological gender as we treat themBut that's not what's happening. If you mispronounce someone's name and they correct you do you adjust or just stay with your first guess?
And that's different.But there are delusional people asking to call them as such. I know of at least three in knox county. And it’s not rude not to feed their delusions
What’s the difference between someone who believes they are a woman when they are a man and what I just stated? Please enlighten meAnd that's different.
If someone changes their name, once corrected, you should refer to that change. No idea why we can change their noun no issue, but not their pronoun.
I was at a restaurant in Florida once and a waiter was helping out our waitress… they brought something to the table and I said thank you sir….two of my daughters looked at me with a shocked look on their faces…. When the waiter walked off they said “that was a woman”…. I thought it was a guy and felt like an a-hole afterwardsMany do it to intentionally insult another person. Not sure how that can really be denied

It is beta to worry about “hurting” the feelings of a delusional person. There’s a reason that doctors also refer to them as their biological gendersIt's not beta, you weak minded chimp. It's treating people with a fundamental level of respect instead of acting like you were raised in a far right, double wide echo chamber.
I have stated that if somebody asks that you refer to them as a she or a he and you continue to address them in a manner inconsistent with said request you're being a jerk. It is your god given right to be a jerk and I support your right to be a jerk.
Still a jerk though.
