So as long as drag is being thoughtful, considerate and friendly, I see no reason not to accommodate drag’s request.

You should respect everyone's pronouns no matter how they act, doing otherwise shows that you don't actually respect their pronouns and you are just doing so to be polite. Also, please don't call anyone's pronouns a "request".

I don't disagree with respect regardless of pronouns. That was much the point I had intended to make. I just wished to emphasize that drag deserves respect.

The word "request" was also meant literally, as drag politely asks everyone to use drag's pronouns when they ask drag about it. Drag doesn't come at anyone harshly or give any reason or even show the slightest impatience, just mild confusion why anyone takes issue with it.

I do not have much experience with people using anything besides he/she/they, but if you are, I will always let you fill me in on my mistakes. I'm coming with friendly intent, so no need to be harsh, just let me know!
