Exactly. The real issue at hand is that people get upset too easily, on both sides.
How about we all just go with the assumption that others aren't jerks?
We can have rational discussions about what we like and don't like. If I use a pronoun that you feel doesn't fit you, it's most likely an honest mistake, even if it happens a few times. Likewise if I disagree with you on a social policy, it's very likely that I'm not bigoted toward whichever group you want to protect, I may think it's not something that government should be involved in or perhaps I haven't read the evidence you have and thus I don't think it's a problem that needs policy to fix.
If we all assume the best intentions in others, I think we'll all get along just fine.
