. . . even if you didn't think their particular identity or demographic required such consideration? You'd say that, whenever someone requests special semantic or linguistic consideration due to the sensitivities they have about their identity, you'd conform to their request to address them / not address them in a way they didn't like? You sure about that?

What if I told you that I'm talking about Caitlyn Jenner, that I consider Caitlyn Jenner a fucking murderous piece of shit and a horror of a human being, and that I think Caitlyn Jenner is using the trans issue both to bury murder and to get special attention? Am I still being a pointless and blatant asshole?
