On the other hand if he asked you politely to call him Marty 90% of people would do that. And the other 10% would be the jackasses. Or not really jackasses just slightly rude. And Marty/Martin could choose to respond like an adult and be gracious when people slipped up. Or he could throw a tantrum about it.
If we all agree pronouns are analogous to Marty/Martin Katie's attitude in this episode makes perfect sense. Try to abide but don't make a big deal if you mess up
I didn't make any demands of anyone. Back off dude. I was continuing a train of thought from above. I'm not sure *I* even agree with that. All I was saying was *if* we agreed with that, then Katie's approach made sense in the episode.
Given the comments above were deleted, it's kind of hard to even follow the thread here, so I certainly don't feel like getting in a stupid argument about something I don't care about. So if that's "dipping out" then so be it. I'm not obligated to argue on the internet all day because you want to.

I don't see it as analogous to a name preference.
1. It is an attempt to control how people refer to them when they aren't around.
2. It unilaterally demands a change to grammatical rules which everyone is used to.
3. The concept of non binary is silly. Literally everyone who is not a fictional character in a comic book is non binary.
Write an essay on your blog about it? Idk
