Not everyone agrees, in case you haven't noticed. Just don't be an asshole when someone says they don't wanna be called that, it's really not hard at all

While you should respect a direct request to refer to someone in a certain way, I don't think it's appropriate to change the standards of language based on what a tiny fraction of people are offended by.

What I won't respect is someone who think they know better than anyone about the world telling me what to assume.
