You know, there seems to be a period of a few years for each trans or non-binary person when we are coming to terms with our true gender identity, during which pronouns can be very emotionally powerful, both positive and negative. After that, I think most of us, having overcome our gender dysphoria problems, don't really care about pronouns any more. Except then they are wielded to be hurtful deliberately. If you accidentally mis-gender me, I don't care, it's no big deal. But if you deliberately misgender me to deny my identity, then we have a problem, my friend!
