>>5Nobody can force anyone to address anyone in any specific way, as no one can force anyone to speak in a certain way. However, the person can ask that they are referred to in a certain way as a sign of respect and as an acknowledgement of their identity. If an other is unwilling to refer to them by their identity, then the person may perceive this as an insult and take offense. You can call me an offensive word. I have no perceived ability to prevent you from doing so. However, I can respond with hostility of my own, or I can choose to not respond at all.
