All of my female friends ask me to refer to them as legion now. It's kinda weird, but I lose nothing for being courteous.

No.

The women I know all prefer she, her pronouns. The trans women I know have never told (or asked) me to use they, them, zer or anything like that.

I think it's dumb how if you don't conform to the stereotypical gender aspects of a woman then now you're "agender" or non-binary and go by they/them when you used to just be a tomboy/androgynous chick.

One (former) girl I know didn't seem like a tomboy but now identifies as "He/They".

They and them are gender neutral. Youre less at risk of offending someone and losing your job or college enrollment by just going with it.

I have a few trans friends, but no non-binary friends, and that's not by choice. I think I have one acquaintance from college that considers themselves to be genderqueer, and I'll respect it. It costs nothing to be polite.

Nobody has ever told me to mock them until their self esteem shatters and they contemplate stuffing their head into a wood chipper, no. Anybody who has known me for more than a few minutes knows that trying to tell me their pronouns would be a very serious error.
