They will laugh and think it's funny because they don't get why it bothers people. They'll insist that the only reason what you're doing is wrong would be if you were "reinforcing a lie" or some other bull shit.
Nah cis people absolutely do understand why misgendering sucks.
There's a reason it was a running bit on Scrubs for like 9 seasons or whatever.
Right wingers just always gonna lie to defend their point. More natural than breathing for them.
Or for a non fictional example, the infamous Chris Everett incident
"He was briefed about the situation and apologized afterwards", Bullshit!
The power dynamics extend even to the guy reporting on the situation.
