Trans/etc people of fedi, if someone doesn't actually believe that you are the gender you identify as, would you prefer they use the pronouns you prefer or the pronouns that they believe are more accurate? Would you prefer they be polite or honest?

@whoopsie @jeffcliff Are we talking about Jews, Africans, or Western gender-affirming doctors?
