Yes, it matters that you use the right pronouns, even when you’re not speaking directly to me. When you still refer to me as my assigned gender when speaking about me, it is disrespecting me and showing that you do not care nor respect my wishes nor view me as the gender I identify with. I do not see how you don’t see what the big deal is there. You just continue to perpetuate others misgendering me.

If you insist on using my birth name and the pronouns of the gender I was wrongly assigned, don’t expect me to be polite and respectful to you.
I am not “becoming a man.” I have been a man since the day I was born. What I am is a man with one hell of a birth defect. That birth defect is my entire body. Some cis people have various chromosomal anomalies that result in physical issues. I have a chromosomal anomaly that has resulted in physical issues. My chromosomal anomaly is being born with an extra “x” chromosome and missing a “y” chromosome.
