This is a completely genuine question. Why should any of your coworkers give two shits about your opinion on their looks?

So they don't care about my opinion at all but get really triggered when I call them a certain pronoun.

Yes. You get to have your opinions, but when you make them known it becomes something you are held accountable for.

This is not a recent thing. It is in fact how society has always worked.

So I am "held accountable" for calling a man, a man. I can live with that. Some people can't, though.

Well the sad part of all this is you saying their feelings arent important to you. That’s really just sad man. We are talking about peoples identities here.

You clearly don’t embrace your persona because you said earlier you would label someone according to their preference for the express purpose of “being polite”. Hope you get more honest with people you meet. The world needs people like you to be more overt about your dislike of people who are different. Gender fluidity is a biological thing. Learn about it. Animals can act how they want. Think bonobos. And furthermore some animals can even physically change their gender. Slugs do it. Frogs. And humans being sort of an elite group of animals we can do pretty much anything we want. Deal with it

You're in HR after calling your male at birth coworker a woman.

You say "I will not call them a man! They're a woman!"

In fact, you are the asshole. As we established already, your detector is terrible.

Also, I can think that a man is a man, but I can't say to "her" face that she is a man. Sounds like tyranny.

You can screech "you're an asshole", but it won't start to make me think a dude is a woman, lol.

they are labelling themselves. i never said theyre feelings werent important. thats actually exactly why i chose to be polite.
not all animals are the same.

do feelings hold up in court of law? can i tell the judge i felt like murdering someone was the right thing to do and because of how i felt suffer no punishment solely because of how i felt? rhetorical. but that is loosely my issue with feelings.

just because someone feels like a woman, doesnt make it so...

Why are you so confident? I literally got you on the first try with an extremely famous person. Seems like you don't actually know anything.
