This had also been my view - but with women included too, my former Team Manager has transitioned from female to male.
But then when I speak with him and also the friend I previously mentioned my view softens. I guess as it doesn’t affect me or those around me on a day to day basis I lean towards a live and let live approach and am happy to use pronouns etc as my own choice. This will change should the Law ever compel me to do so.
