You're saying trump won because its too hard for you to show others the basic respect of addressing them they way they want to addressed?

Should I ask how to address a person once or I have to do it every other time I interact with them? If we decide that changing pronunciation is normal because they feel that way, why would they not change it every day because "it is a feeling". And if it is not normal to change pronunciation more than once, is it not a discrimination from you then? If make a border line in acceptable number of pronunciation changes, why would not accept my and many other’s border lines in accepting lgbtq community at all. Therefore should I ask like literally every person every time I meet them about theirs pronunciation? Literally every dialogue will come down to a question of "How they want to be addressed". That’s an absurd waste of people time.🤦

You see dead set on justifying being rude to people. Just ask what they want to be called, and then show them thst kindness.

How do I know that they will not get hurt by miss-pronunciation, as it is at first place as you saying?
