So just because you have what you need out of an accommodation you are going to turn around and put up barriers for other people who are not served by your level of accommodation?
If they/them pronouns work for you that's awesome. It's in a way another path of least resistance... But there are some people do hope for more from their nearest and dearest. Generally speaking they like all of us take what we can get from the people who legitimately wish them well.
Turning around and dumping on someone else's accommodation the same way others dump on yours so you get to feel "respectable" is pretty classless. Maybe take a step back and realize the company you keep when you act like that.
