Personally, and this is just me me me, I find it transgendered phobic. And I find it so, because we live in a world in which ANYONE who steps outside of the gender conformity is met with harsh consequences. This is why I personally, make a huge distinction between transgender and transsexed. ANYONE stepping out of 'this is what girls do, and this is what boys do" is met with name calling (including 'he-she'), threats, pokes, jabs, and a 'shoving' back into conformity through a number of different routes...including intentional misuse of pronouns.
"Well, if you want to look/act like a man, I'm going to treat you like a man"
"If you want to be a man so bad..."
What would YOU call it if I continually and purposefully called you, "he"?
