Sure, feel I already have, but I’ll be Happy to elaborate.
I understand it can be hard to face the world at the best of times, but trying to face it when we don’t even know who WE are or how WE define our OWN self, is damn near impossible.
How do you introduce yourself when you don’t know who you’re introducing? How do you try to forge a path in life when you don’t know WHO is forging the path, let alone WHAT the path is?
In your case, you chose an identity, and because that gave you a sense of self, you’re very protective of that identity, rightly so.
Just like you, I have an identity, I worked hard for it, it gives me a sense of self.
By you choosing to redefine my identity for the sake of better establishing yours, you are not being respectful to what gives me a sense of self.
If you want me to respect the identity you’ve chosen, then don’t redefine mine to better establish yours.
I guess what I’m saying is, by looking at my gigantic, hairy, 6’3” 120kg ass, you would know I’m a man, socially you know how to address me if you’re choosing to be polite/respectful.
While I agree the world has many assholes in it, the majority of people you meet just wouldn’t know how to address you, but if you start off the convo by attacking their own self identity to establish yours, and getting angry at them for not addressing you correctly, when they (likely) have no idea how to do it… they’re not going to be very open to participating in your self image.

You looked for confrontation, you looked for something to get angry about, and you found it where it didn’t exist.
Good on you for correcting yourself, but surely you can see there is an issue with your approach if your default is to not bother reading someone’s point before throwing the good ole ‘transphobic’ label at them?
I will use your exact statement and merely reverse the premise.
“If you really want me to take out him/her I will, but I don’t know why it’s so important to you.”
I literally said to you it’s a benign, ill-willed term and you immediately used it in conversation with me. How is this any different to someone intentionally using a pronoun you don’t like for the purpose of undermining your identity?
There is no need to add ‘cis’, it doesn’t come with my identity as a man. I would never say I’m a ‘cis’ man, and nor would any other man, we are just men. That is how WE identify ourselves.
The irony of you wanting people to respect your self perceived identity, while you decide how others should be labelled because you believe it strengthens your own identity………
If you want people to receive you well and be willing to participate in your self image, I wouldn’t start out by throwing a label on them.
