some of it is the age of certain people determined to deadname/misgender, believing they're right and the rest is nonsense. A considerable influence is religion. A whole lot of it is the lack of empathy that seems to plough a dividing line between those who vote democrat and those who vote republican. republicans can have empathy, for sure, but it tends to be restricted to people experiencing a far narrower set of circumstances that fit snugly within the conservative 'family values'... those same values so many of them ignore so long as they think they won't be held accountable.

Olurin disagreed, asking, “What is the problem with that? That you’re not allowed to call someone by a name that they don’t go by anymore? Big deal.”
Iversen responded, “That’s crazy. We shouldn’t be not allowed to say what a person was for decades.”
Olurin responded, “God forbid you not be allowed to call somebody by something they don’t wanna go by anymore because your right to call them what you want should trump their right?”
Soave added, “If they wanted to be called ‘The Greatest of All Time,’ we would just move over to that? Like, ‘Well, we gotta respect his wishes?'”
Olurin concluded by stating, “It’s not the same, but y’all are clearly invested in pretending like y’all don’t understand the significance of not using a deadname, so y’all continue to go ahead.”
