you haven't shared the basis of these moral beliefs, code of values, or culture is.
is it based on religion, logic etc?
They aren't forcing you to do anything
its literally just a formality, acknol
you say that you are treating them like a normal human, then there should be no difference between a trans person person and a cis person in your mind no?
the fact that there is a distinction is discrimination
if you were treating them like a normal human then you wouldn't be having this cognitive dissonance - between not wanting to discriminate and trying to stick to whatever cultural values you have
yeah you aren't obligated no, nor is anyone forcing you to. its just like a name. like if your name is Joe, and i keep calling you Gil-Dong, every time we meet its kinda weird/inconvenient
another thing.
if you've ever met a trans person, then you would know that the media blows it up way out of perception and regular trans people are chill
i grew up in a household where my environment was super bigoted and i used to not believe in the concept of a trans gender until i actually met someone who said: 'bro im just tryna live my life, just respect i am and we got no problem'
imho Streamers and such overblow the pronoun thing because less reasonable people are less likely to go with the flow quietly and more likely to discriminate/cause drama etc. Its literally just to show support
