Wait, if someone wants to use a preferred pronoun, I need to use it or I am considering transphobic, but if someone who is cisgendered, doesn't want to be called "cis" it's terrible?

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Exactly this. It's not that hard.

No, not terrible, if you don't want to be called by any word - that's okay and will be respected in any polite conversation.

But no need to call words you don't like a slur and ban them (especially if it's not a slur).

Really? Because I've heard transgender people say that calling them the wrong gender is basically a slur/hate crime.

See, and nobody bans this words. The reason it's considered a slur is because it's used to disrespect and attack a person. So the word is okay, hate is not
