You should refer to them by whatever pronoun they wish you to use. It isn't your place to decide if they've "earned" it yet or not, which is how your post comes across.

Seriously, what harm does it do to you to try to be respectful? How is that forcing anything on you? How is the (slim) possibility that someone isn't genuine or is asking for a pronoun hastily worse than the possibility of disrespecting someone who's probably already having a shitty time trying to get respect?

Also, there's no particular point during transition where a person "becomes" a new gender because not all trans people take the same path to transition. Different people have different desires, priorities, and practical limitations. If you were to say that only trans people who have been on hormone therapy for an extended time deserve new pronouns, you'd be discounting anyone who has medical problems that preclude them from being on hormones, for example.
