forcing someone to refer to you by certain pronouns, names, species, ages, or other such identities is bad because it's breaking their boundaries. and when i say force i don't mean kindly correcting, i mean forcing, arguing, or bullying (calling them a bad person) them into referring to you as whatever.

many people, for any reason, will not lie. they see it as immoral, manipulative, condescending, harmful, etc. and many people do not see you as your transids, especially ones you aren't/haven't transitioned to. to call you, for example, "she" would be, in their eyes, to lie. and lying goes against their morals. them not saying "she" is not personal or directed, it just happened to be that they don't see you as a "she."

forcing them to call you "she" is forcing them to break their morals, which is a much worse version of breaking boundaries because it's what they live by. forcing them to call you "she" is what makes the scenario personal, as it wasn't before.

them not calling you "she" is also breaking your boundaries, but not your morals. what they do does not affect your morals and is not personal unless you make it personal.

therefore, forcing your transids on others is just as bad, if not worse, as them refusing to refer to you as it.
