I want to be respectful but if they say they don't care what pronouns I use for them, that feels like it puts the decision on me to choose what to call them and I guess I would probably default to "they" because choosing a gender for them feels weird... am I wrong?

Just curious ; if I feel like you're a he one day, and then a she another (for example), would that bother you, or would you prefer a person being a bit stable in the pronouns they use?

I'm only talking about the pronouns used.
