I used to think, "What's the harm in calling someone by their preferred gender pronouns," only to find a few years later that that harm is infinite. Most especially to actual women. Here's a reality check for everyone here: Look at it from the opposite perspective when people complain about misgendering. They're demanding that everyone else LIE to affirm their delusion, LIE to affirm their mental disease, LIE to affirm their fetish. The people who are ACTUALLY misgendering are those demanding we call a man a woman and a woman a man or any of the other made-up 87 gender pronouns. THAT is what is the actual misgendering. Me calling a man a man who wants to be called a woman isn't misgendering. Him demanding I call him a woman is the misgendering.
That is what is actually incredibly harmful. Would you tell an anorexic they look fat? Would you tell a schizophrenic or bi-polar person their medication was poison? Of course you wouldn't.
This person is a man. He will always be a man. His genes and his DNA say he's a man. Nothing he does in butchering his body to mirror his own personal demons will stop him from being a man. Demanding everyone lie to him is a narcissistic disservice to what is immutable truth.
Refuse to lie. Stop lying to service the needs of these narcissists. It's not impolite. The truth is the truth.
