Comment on Demanding a pronoun is like demanding a burkas.

Only if you mean when someone is demanding another person to go by a specific pronoun and not someone demanding others respect their own pronouns.
IE if you’re demanding a trans woman to be called a man, that is like demanding a woman to wear a burka.

The form of language is dictated by the preferences of all those involved in the conversation, the conventions of their shared culture, and other context. For a person to insist that everybody involved bend to his sole preference in this is unrealistic.

No, it really isn’t.

So would you be fine if I referred to you as a bitch, or would you insist I refer to you by a specific name or pronoun?
