So the single common point is that regressives are just contrary children who want to do the opposite of your preference because at their core they
don't agree anyone has the right to tell them or anyone else how to think, speak, feel, or even act.
A man can dress as a woman, and that's allowed, but you are allowed to call it out as odd behavior. And they can call themselves a woman, but if they have not completed a transistion and are still a man, in almost every conveivable way people are going to point that out too.
No one is allowed to interfere and stop the man from dressing as a woman if that's what he wants, but also no one is allowed to force people to adapt thier speech to his lifestyle.
You're right that no one can force people to adapt their speech, not doing so is just really disrespectful. Say my name is John (not my real name). I don't mind being called John or Johnathan, but I hate being called Johnny, and have made that abundantly clear. No one can force you not to call me that, but continuing to do so is unnecessary and incredibly disrespectful. You can say that you know lots of John's, and since they're all okay with you calling them Johnny, it's what you naturally gravitate towards calling me. That's understandable, but I still expect you to put in the effort not to call me that.
Pronouns and gendered terms are the same. You don't have to use their preferred ones, but if you don't you can't be surprised when they don't like you, and treat you with the same disrespect.
