To the women who sat on the bench in Montana in order to make a statement with regard to Ms Zephyr: These women are all old enough to realize that what is natural can’t be controlled. And if they try to do so it will lead only to bitterness and frustration. Come on ladies, let people be themselves, even if you don’t understand it. Who does Ms Zephyr harm by being herself?

Exactly! She harms no one and it won't kill anyone to use a person's preferred pronouns. I mean, Mr Carlson or Mr Grassley or Mr Trump wouldn't appreciate being referred to as Mrs or Miss whomever would they? They would see that as someone being disrespectful to them and they would be correct in their assertion, just as Ms. Zephyr is correct in her's.
My cousin’s queer child is happy that I try and use the right pronouns, even if I mess up more often than not. Most non-binary folks can tell the difference between old guys like me, who try and fail, and people who misgender on purpose.
Exactly. I've had a few family members come out and I let them know I won't be rejecting them. If they say they wanna be called thus or so, that's what I call em. It's not that hard to remember when they ask you or tell you firmly but respectfully that they wish to be respected in the manner that they understand to be respectful.
That means I don't decide for them what they are to be called. They decide for me just as I have for others.
As a child I went by my middle name, but as man I go by my first.

Please be easy on us. The use of Correct pronouns is going to take awhile unless they tattoo their pronouns to their foreheads I’m afraid.

Clearly, mean girls never grow out of it. It is a disgusting display. I am waiting to see if they return today.
