I like using "they". I wish there was an English singular equivalent to this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hen_(pronoun)

I do not use "she" to refer to biological males as these signals in my mind the acceptance they are actually women which I don't agree with. I'd be less against calling a transman "he" although I'd still object to it for similar reasons.

It is a courtesy especially when they are requesting pronouns that directly contradict reality. I wish trans people would push just to have less use of gendered language as a whole (without completely erasing biological sex of course) that I think I could actually get on board with but I hate their constant quest to get others to validate them.
