View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?
Idk why you're strawman-ing my argument into being about pronouns. My argument is that defaulting to a coercive and violent social caste system as an acceptable way for people to classify each other is what leads to the violence you are talking about.
A trans butch is a trans butch because she knows she's trans and butch. It's not that hard.
You are choosing to doubt the lived experience of trans people because you don't understand us. If you can't accept us as we are, you are being inherently disrespectful to us and our ability to define ourselves.
You are inconsistent with your inability to recognize that gender is a social construct in that the genders you believe in are too socially constructed. You make us responsible for the violence done to us, rather than holding accountable those who perpetrate violence against us. I am unwilling to argue with you further for these reasons.

And you're strawman-ing my argument into somehow being in favor of a "coercive and violent social caste system" because I want to [checks notes] remove the social expectations surrounding gender.
Kind of seems like you want the coercive and violent social caste system to persist, just as long as it's inclusive. I'd rather like to see it dismantled, and that doesn't begin with engaging in it more deeply, it starts with abandoning it. You're fighting fire with gasoline.
Unwilling to argue? I'd contend you're unwilling to challenge your internal biases.
