I might be in the minority here but I'm fine with using preferred name and pronouns so long as they're not neo pronoun bullshit. THAT SAID changing a friend's first name and pronouns is super hard. So much harder than a pet or a last name because you've used it all the time for years. I had a friend change first names (not trans, just changed names) and it took about a year to sink in. Like, it's genuinely really hard to reverse these habits, the people criticising them are being morons.

I had this issue when my friend completely changed her name, and I couldn't always remember to call her by her new name. She cut off contact with me years ago, but she started hanging out with members of the TQ crowd, so I'm guessing that's why she did it.
