I think, and not speaking for anyone else here, that some people are just biological realists and to insist that they must conform their language to betray that is, to them, offensive.
It's like, for them, being made to say the sky is red, when you an see it's blue. It's a betrayal of what they know to be true and being made to parrot falsehoods is unacceptable.
Why is it ok to offend one and group in the protection of not offending another?
If someone believes a biological man is a man and should be called 'he' then that's as valid as insisting otherwise. No one's rights trump the others in this.
Does that make sense?
