I think a firm stand has to be taken on the 'misgendering' situation full stop. The trans ideology dictates that pronouns should be used to describe gender, however, pronouns have always been used to describe sex, not gender. For example we don't call a woman mr or he if she wears a shirt and tie, we use the pronouns for her sex not her gender (which is just a harmful social role) and always have done.
Moreover, in reality most people do not really believe that someone can change sex, but they want to be 'nice' and 'polite' and so use the incorrect pronouns for an individuals sex. Well meaning people by humouring believers of trans ideology (calling them the incorrect pronoun for their sex) has allowed the trans ideology to get as far as it has. It has given legitimacy to the ideology and the impression that most people believe in it, when in fact that is not the case.
Of course women have been socialised from birth to be 'nice' and 'polite' (particularly to men), this has allowed men to take advantage of women's socialisation and use it to manipulate women into giving them what they want. In this case that is validation of their belief in an ideology (that men can become women). Humouring men by using the incorrect pronoun for their sex has allowed them to then take it further still, i.e. they have gotten away with that bit of manipulation and gaslighting and so they move on to more extreme forms. For example they claim that a penis is female, that males should be allowed in women's spaces, and so on.
This is classic behaviour of abusive males and is why many women who have been in abusive relationships previously instantly recognise it as such. This sort of abusive gaslighting and manipulation of females on such a societal scale, is of course extremely harmful to females in a practical sense, and also in a psychological sense. It is no coincidence that many middle aged men who adopt trans ideology are diagnosed with narcissism and other personality disorders.
Clearly trans ideology is harmful to females on many levels it must be opposed. The first step in doing that I believe, is by refusing to give legitimacy to it by using the incorrect pronoun for someones sex. Once the core of the ideology is rejected then everything else starts to crumble. Believers in this ideology of course will fight tooth and nail to stop women from doing this, e.g. They will claim we are bigots, meanies, and so on, but I believe it must be done in order to make any real progress.
