What I find interesting about those who wish to be referred to by fake pronouns is they basically want to control how people talk about them, not to them - we don't really use gendered pronouns for someone who's present, it's when they're not there - "where's Mildred?" , "she popped to the shop"

A transwoman wanting to be called she is natural, because she'd want to be treated exactly like a woman, but what does someone who wants to be called "ze" want to be treated like?
