Well, if you don't care, then you might consider having a more understanding attitude. Think about it this way: isn't it weird that we resolve to treat people in a certain way and assign them social roles based on if they have a "long and dangly" swinging between their legs? But that's gender norms for you. Certain people don't want to conform to these norms. That's all.
I'm not applying social pressure or anything. (I think "social pressure" might be your real gripe anyway.) What I do is try to treat trans people with dignity and respect... including respecting their pronouns. I don't feel the need to buy into whatever pronoun package is being sold, nor am I offended by it. I just try to be decent toward everybody. I think a similar attitude might suit you, Biker.
