Thanks for letting me know I don't pass

It's not forcing, at all. It's kind of like what I referenced above, it's not socially acceptable to use those words anymore, times have changed, expectations have changed. And, at least here, many know that you simply address transgendered people in the gender their presenting as. No ones holding a gun to their head, they just know that's what you do and that it's the acceptable way of doing so.

I am wholeheartedly in agreement when it comes to civility, politeness, courtesy. I have no problem if you tell others you'd prefer to be called thus or such. It's the sense of entitlement expressed by some (not you) that I take issue with.
