      There’s a difference between someone making an honest mistake or not understanding something because of the culture they grew up in and someone refusing to respect someone else’s pronouns because they “don’t get it”.

        My most effective tool for that is the "how does it hurt you to not use someone's preferred pronouns?" approach. Because it's really hard to come up with a negative answer to that that doesn't make someone sound like an asshole.

        And people generally don't want to be thought of as an asshole.
