And I believe that majority of people are to some extent bisexual, but I'm not going to question the identity of every lesbian who "used to date men before figuring out she's a lesbian".

I assume you're also fine with "misgendering" a transsexual? Because that's my beef - I am ok with a person feeling dysphoric and wanting to change their sex, I just don't see why on earth would that mean that they also absolutely must change their pronouns, names and everything else that goes with it. I am also perfectly fine with a person who wants to change their name, pronouns and everything else that goes with it but doens't feel liek changing their body. If that perosn's not trans, what are they?

False equivalent but nice try.

And no, sorry to disappoint. I have a general rule of being polite to people and will address them according to their wishes, if their choice of pronouns stays in an acceptable range. I will be highly skeptical if someone presenting as a super stereotypical girly girl insists on male pronouns, but sure, whatever, no skin off my back.

"Doesn't feel like changing their body" is where the example I gave comes in - as I have said, I understand that surgery is not for everyone.

But yeah, someone who insists on special pronouns and a different name but wouldn't even think of wanting to change either their gender-presentation or anything about their body, that's what I'd call the classic special snowflake talked about in this thread.
