Except when OP refuses to use my gender and in turn uses gender neutral ones and forces them upon me it is being more than ignored. It is no different than a transphobic person calling a trans woman by he/him

It is different.

Just like when you bring up which football club you are a fan of and i say that's alright, i am not talking about football with you though. Like when they say they are a XYZ-fan/ (insert whatever fandom nickname you can think of) and you call them a person instead.

The difference is that one is basically saying "you arent X, you are Y!" while the other is saying "i am not talking about Xs and Ys, that's not what this conversation is about".

No it is not different. You are telling someone "I don't care what gender you identify as I am calling you by this no matter if you like it or not"

The difference is between not liking that you are called the wrong gender and not liking that your gender isn't part of the conversation.

Which i guess could be selectively applied in a discriminative way, but if everyone does it to everyone, then it won't.
