Nah. They’re allowed to use whatever language they want.
If you have a problem with that, then you’re the one doing the ‘forcing.’
Something tells me you think “pregnant person” is okay but “pregnant woman” is not. I, personally, don’t really care and think they can use whatever language they want.
Amd now it becomes clear that “choice” isn’t what you actually care about.
Is it clear that I care about choice, now? What about you?
So what? Doesn’t affect you in any way to treat others with respect. If you do not call someone what they ask to be called, that is disrespectful.
You don’t have to do it, either. It’s not against the law. But nobody has to employ you, or invite you to fun things, or let you converse with the adults when it’s time to make decisions, or stay married to you.
Either way, insofar as it’s also a matter your beliefs, that really just means it’s about your emotional reaction. That makes sense but you have to know it’s not rational.

How about you just have respect for people other than yourself and call others how they ask to be called?
Because not everyone believes that men and women should be referred to by whatever pronouns they choose.
Because some people are disrespectful assholes?
I think it’s more beliefs and culture.

Yeah. I totally agree.
These controversial situations are really just litmus tests to figure out who and who is not worth hanging out with.
