Imagine if a man presenting the way she does wasn't called 'she'. That would be transphobic!

Words no longer make sense. Someone can be a lesbian and a wife but not a 'she'? I work with multiple very feminine presenting female they/thems so I have to navigate this mindfield every day.

A few of them put 'she/they' in their signature but apparently you have to call them 'they' Or Else.

No, you have to SWITCH the pronouns you are using. Like use "she" and then switch to "they". Halsey had a meltdown over some magazine not doing this a few years ago lmao.

I've seen that rule too. I've noticed the CBC does that for their genderspecials bios.

These ones I work with only wear 'they/them' flair on their lanyards, so there are really mixed messages.
