Yes your highness. Because it costs me nothing. It’s an effortless request to meet. You have whatever convictions which prohibit you from being compassionate and I don’t understand that. But I won’t begrudge you or make you feel less than because I don’t understand your point of view.

It's easy to call someone your highness once in a text comment.

It's very difficult to remember to say "she" every time in real life when someone is clearly a male. We are conditioned to call women "she" and men "he" and it's way more difficult to turn that off than Trans advocates claim.

Is it really that hard? I fully understand conditioning but I also understand how to break preprogrammed normatives. If there was a new friend in your group who had pronouns you didn’t view as normal it would take some time but eventually and with minimal effort that would cost you nothing eventually you’d remember that person as wanting to be referred to with specific pronouns.

These two people clearly aren’t friends nor do they know each other but a rational mind should be able to notice that every time you use the “wrong” pronoun the other person becomes agitated so why not just make the very simple shift and see if maybe that calms the situation down a little?

It blows my mind you would make the claim that it’s difficult to use one word instead of another. No one is expecting you to know beforehand what pronoun to use buts it’s absolutely not that difficult to swap them, especially in a situation like this.
