I'm not sure that's a particularly libertarian answer. But whether your views belong to a particular political label or not is not my main concern.
My question was whether you think such identity claims are true.
Now maybe you don't think it matters, and that we should use preferred pronouns regardless. But at that point you are saying that people should lie for the sake of politeness. The request isn't just "Please don't say that"; it's "Please say this other thing even if you don't believe it's true".
