I'm the same way honestly. Even more so since embracing a feminist perspective and some other social justice ideologies. When it comes to the furry fandom, take everything with a grain of salt. When it comes to people who you don't know well? Treat them with respect provided they have done the same, and use whatever gender pronouns they ask you to use. If you aren't sure and don't want to offend, I find in most cases 'you' or singular 'they' (yes this does exist) is an okay, if somewhat grammatically obtuse stand in. The bottom line is that it's for the trans person to decide themselves what they want to be called. I'm not touching the diagnosis aspect of this post because such things tend to be more complicated than simply black and white, and they can get into scary places if you aren't careful. (I.e pray away the gay, 'curing' things that can't/shouldn't be cured, over/under use of proper medication should it be warranted)

Xie/hir/zir/eir/etc always work, too. I know some of them are awkward, but I mostly just forced myself to learn how to use them, and they became more natural over time.

I didn't know those well enough off the top of my head to use them, but yes those are options too :3 I need to make a point to do that. Hir used to leave a bit of a bad taste in my mouth due to the fur fandom and the tendency for oversexualized trans characters to use it but obviously that's an unfair bias on my part.

THIS. I always use 'they' unless I KNOW which pronoun I should be using. It avoids the entire conflict to begin with. It also avoids accidentally mislabeling cisfolk, too.
