I agree, it is the intent is what makes it hate.Its bad language. The intent is what makes it hate.
Sorry, but calling a he a she or vice versa does not rise up to ethnic slurs, or at least one of them.
The speech has only the power given to it by the listener. Call me a mick or a wop, or guinea, or cracker. see if I care.
If I told my teacher my name is John but he insisted on calling me Jane or Moron. Is that hate? Don't we all get to be called by our given name? Why are pronouns any different?
if your name was legally actually john, it would be odd, and most people wouldn't do that.
What is happening here is you are asking people to deny reality and call a she a he. The guy tried to compromise by using neutral terms, but that isn't good enough for the Progressive Stasi.
