Scott Francis on Nostr: if your name is Robert, and you ask me and others to please call you Bob, but then I ...
if your name is Robert, and you ask me and others to please call you Bob, but then I ignore you and insist on calling you Robert anyway, I'm not being correct or telling the truth, I'm just being a dick.
Now, substitute "my preferred name" for "my preferred pronoun" - refusing to refer to somebody by the identifiers they prefer is no different than refusing to call them by the name they go by, and it's a dick move in either case. It's not a political statement, or a theological one: it's just common courtesy to call people what they prefer to be called, whether that's their proper name or their pronoun.
More to the point, if you insisted on calling me by a name other than the one I had introduced myself with, after you'd been corrected, I would think you were being an asshole on purpose - and I'd be right.
