...they should not be judged or bullied.
Unfortunately, you can't stop that. There are too many assholes in the world.
Further, the political climate is to make it criminal for me to interact with anybody.
About your sexuality or if your gender is not what you appear, I really do not care or even want to know about, unless I am trying to get intimate with you.
If I am not a close friend, this information is superfluous to my life and a waste of brain space. So, since our language has a male and female genders, those will be used when referring to people.
Of course, you can try to change the language. It only has thousands of years of usage going for it. But, if I am legally required to use the correct pronoun, then either I will stop talking to people, or just not care right up to the point they try to lock me up.
