If you could provide me any example of anyone getting fired for accidentally calling someone by the wrong pronouns I would be very surprised. There is a difference between deliberately going out of you way to misgender someone many times (which a small minority of assholes will do) versus just struggling to learn someone’s pronouns or the concept in general (which I empathize with, I really do). I would never get upset with a random person being confused. I AM much more upset when my very own parents won’t even take the time to learn or understand.
I get that a small part of the queer community will weaponize identity politics and overly-gentle language to silence people. I would call such behavior out. But that has more to do with tone policing and political correctness then pronouns.
