I think people get uppity when "common courtesy" becomes a policy proposal. I personally have no problem referring to someone by a preferred pronoun or whatever (though I'll ask that you choose one of the two traditional options), but I don't want it to become a policy that I have to comply with. If I'm forced to do something I would otherwise do if asked nicely, I will resist. And that's where the culture part of it comes in. When I see stuff on the media, I think ahead to elections. I have no problem with PC culture on a personal level, but I absolutely don't want that to extend to the governmental or workplace levels. I applaud people for courageously being who they are instead of trying to present a false, but more socially familiar persona. However, that doesn't mean it should be illegal or against office policy to not follow personal requests, even if it takes a lot of courage to make them. That is why I push back on PC culture. I think it all stems from holding freedom of speech to be inalienable. I want to interact with you in a respectful manner, but I don't want to be forced to.
