You don't have to agree to treat people with respect. Using someone's preferred pronouns doesn't hurt you.

It doesn't hurt them to be addressed by their sex either. You can totally believe what you like about your sex/gender but making me go long with it is different.

Men in women's clothes, acting and talking like women... whilst it's not for me, that part I can accept - we've had drag queens this whole time, so what? It's just being forced pretend the drag queen is ACTUALLY a woman, that's the only part I can't do. Everything else is fair enough

You are free to believe what you want.

If you find it that hard to keep those feelings to yourself in the context of contributing to rust, and are too stubborn to make a one character change to pronouns when you’re addressing people, I have to imagine that you’re utterly incapable of working in any professional context, where you’re expected to conform to many more things that make less sense. This seems like a problem with you.

That sex determines if you're a man or a woman, and gender is irrelevant? I do, but I'm being asked to believe the inverse, or to act as if I do.

I can think of nothing remotely like being asked to call a man a woman. Id be happy to be wrong about that, but this is nothing like homosexuality, racism or any other "ism" We've seen before.
