I dunno, people have feelings, and hurting them is best avoided. Imagine for instance any of us being routinely addressed as the wrong gender - that would inspire very definite feelings I suspect. The fact that our gender is clear and unambiguous is something we straights take for granted, but the reality is, many people do not have that privilege.
So if someone tells us they have gender issues that can be offset by the rest of us simply adjusting the pronouns, or the language we use when we address them, I think that is a courtesy we privileged ones can afford to go with...
No matter what we feel about it in our hearts. It is after all, just a common courtesy.
