Absolutely zero insight into other people and no tolerance for anybody's opinion but his own.

I have been called " miss" exactly BECAUSE I had hair down to my waist - and was not offended. I found the old gal's flustered look when I stood up and turned around - rather amusing.
Your citation is hardly indicative of anything. 99.999% of the time when you see a pregnant " person" it' s GOING to be a " she".
Perhaps it' s different in your planet.

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.
You completely missed the point in the OP.
