First of all, I have a huge problem with referring to a transsexual by
pronouns other than those appropriate for their day to day social
presentation. It's beyond crass.

The second problem with this is the fact that these people see nothing
wrong with using a person's previous name, even if they have legally
had it changed since. Not only is this inappropriate, it can actually
expose the person in question to real danger. There are plenty of
people out there who have beaten the tar out of someone for being
transsexual in the first place.
