From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Its not an urge. It's a correction. If I tell you my name isn't Joe, it's John, and you continue to call me Joe, I'll have to assume you're either crazy forgetful or purposefully being an asshole.
If I tell you I'm not he/him, but she/her, and you continue to call me he/him, it's the same thing. Prove me wrong.
What about adopting they/them?
In my experience, those that asked to be referred to as they/them identify as being non-binary, though in reading more on the topic, this is not always the case.
I only adopt the pronouns of those that the person in question expressly asks to be referred to as. Otherwise, if the pronouns are not explicitly mentioned, I default to the pronouns of the gender I perceive said individual to be presenting as until otherwise corrected.
In my opinion, it's simply a sign of mutual respect and acknowledgement that I recognize their identity as they proclaim it to be.
