I am not trying to be hateful. I have only responded to unpleasant comments with equally unpleasant comments. From now on, since my opinion on the correct use of pronouns is conflicting with the opinions of those on this thread, I will refer to any who want to use pronouns which I deem unsuitable by name.
Avoiding pronouns is actually still just as bad as using the wrong pronouns. Because everyone knows you're still thinking very hard "SHE SHE SHE v****a c**t b***h WOMAN FEMALE GIRL LADY MISS MRS MS MISTRESS SEAMSTRESS WAITRESS SHEEEEE." Sorry, trying to make me a girl in your brain isn't going to effect who I really am. I'm not going to suddenly say, "Wow, you're right, I really am a woman, thanks for reminding me."
It's not that. I'm not going to change my mind about your womanhood, but since people seem to have an issue with explicit displays of such an opinion, I have decided that it is much more tactful to use your name than it is to use the pronouns which I think are accurate, despite their potential offensiveness, either to you or others.
You called me a liar. Now I'm calling you a liar. Because I am not a woman in any sense of the word.
You think wrongly, those pronouns are not accurate. Pronouns are not used to refer to someone's genitals, they're used to refer to their gender. That's why WALL-E is a "he" and EVE is a "she" even though they don't have genitals. That's why Tinky-Winky and Dipsy are "he" and Laa-Laa and Po are "she." They have genders but not sexes.
Go ahead, use the "IT'S FICTIONAL!!1" argument. That doesn't disprove the use of the pronouns in reference to gender in the English language. The characters in question don't have to be real people.
