I know you're not trying to be dismissive, but the pronouns people use aren't a "preference" and framing them as such is extremely problematic.

I'm just using this as "term of art". I would never want to use a non-preferred pronoun, that would be hurtful. If I offended, I'm sorry, I can't edit it now.

I understand that, my point was to provide guidance against using a problematic phrase in the future.
