Well I got a public lecture when I referred to some that had “no” gender by their name. Went downhill after that.

Since it is not obvious why calling someone by their name would be offensive, did they explain why using their name was offensive?

So you singled out this person by using a different speech pattern than you would normally use so that you wouldn't have to accommodate a request to use a different set of pronouns in your normal speech while referring to that person?
