Not being uncomfortable being called something they don't identify with, of course. Would you like to be referred to by pronouns of the opposite gender?

Gender identity also exists. I'm not making any claim about whether it is valid or not, but explaining why transgender people prefer that one uses such pronouns from their own viewpoint, because that is what your post appeared to ask for.
