Happens very often with Chinese, Japanese, South Korean and Taiwanese clients. Anyway, it's a minor inconvenience
And even in case of trans identified people- they might feel comfortable one way or another- but by demanding pronouns theyre demanding that I lie about the biological material reality of the world we share. There are only two sexes, there are zero genders, there are infinite personalities. People cannot change sex. They can change their personality and thats- good for them I guess. But why make me pretend theyre a different sex? By demanding I use their language which is not rooted in reality or science- they are demanding that I address them as if they were the wrong sex. Its cultish and indoctrination and compelled speech.
