The more I read about ->-bleeped-<- and experience transsexualism,
the more I realize that pronoun compliance is one of the biggest -- if
not the biggest -- issues for trans folks. We ask people for a show
of respect. It's so simple: a slight pronoun switch. It shouldn't
matter whether people approve of us or not. It's a matter of simple
courtesy.
