I forgot to mention that I strongly believe there should be no legal requirements to use a person’s preferred pronouns. I am a little less certain about a workplace - certainly if I persisted in calling Bill “William” after multiple requests not to, to the point where it became clear I was doing it just to antagonize him, I would expect professional repercussions. I’m not sure pronouns should be different. However, if we are discussing an employee’s use of a sex-specific space like a restroom or locker room, or an employee’s use of a program that is intended to assist an underrepresented group like women, I should be allowed to refer to the fact of their physical sex without repercussions.
