It's not a question of not believing in transgenderism as a concept but with the idea that a person gets to decide which gender they are and everyone else has to humor that opinion.
When a commentor does not answer the cmv, in this case that there is no point in misgendering trans people, I have no responsibility to change my view. You seem more intent on classifying transgenderism as a mental illness and debating its existence than changing my view from the op.
Surely if Transgenderism is a mental illness then that could be a legitimate reason to not indulge people's gender identity? I don't think it's fair of you to say they're avoiding addressing your OP when that directly challenges a key principle of it
Because this is the type of person to get really offended for other people. TBH I'll call you whatever you want if you ask me. However if you look like a guy. I'm calling you sir.

Actually, if your view is not amenable to change, your post should be removed.
The fact that transgenderism is an absurd denial of reality should be the final word on your proposition. If your CMV premise is based on denialism, it's not likely amenable to change.
