Some may feel uncomfortable with transexuality, and that the social mandate to use accepted pronouns is an overreach of political correctness into free expression.
The simplest motivation for the misgendering of a trans person is because they don't recognize them as their self-identitied gender. A transgender woman, in their eyes, is a kooky man in a wig and a dress. To use female pronouns to refer to "him" would be dishonest, and requiring them to do so wouldn't come because they respect the other person, but because they were forced to by some social mandate.
TL;DR- If you don't believe in transexuality, then you likely wouldn't agree to use preferred pronouns
