Valid point, but the better way to deal with this is to not use incorrect pronouns for anyone, regardless of whatever respect or camaraderie you otherwise feel towards them. If for some reason you don't think you can use the proper (sex-based) pronoun, refer to them by their name instead.

Valid point, but even "refer to them by their name" doesn't work, since pronoun bullshit can boil down to "this person wants to choose their own nickname". Even calling them by their name won't work as a result because you didn't validate them by calling them all the awesome cool nicknames they decided they want.

If someone makes it that difficult to interact with them, then... don't interact with them.
