No one is forcing you to refer to them in a specific way, it's more like you are being asked to not be a dick to LGBT+ people.
A big majority are trying to force others though and konami is also forces you to. Not using their preferred pronoun/gender is seen as an attack for some reason. Even if you use those more neutral terms. Like I said in judge chat if the policy change is purely to prevent bullying of actual trans people that would be great. However I have a very bad feeling that isnt the case and konamis policy is definitely going to be abused.
To avoid such we will keep our current stance. If a player in a duel keeps missgendering for fun its going to be a uc minor as it is disrupting the game and spamming the chat.
have you read the policy... its not forcing you to use their preferred pronoun, just dont purposefully misgender them for the sake of harassment if someone called you "Xe/Xer" and you asked them to stop, and they didnt, purposefully, because they knew it upset you, then that is harassment.
if i get misgendered in a rated game, i will correct them once, if they misgender me again, i will report it to a judge under the policy changes and if YOU answer that judge call and say its a UC Minor, when its very cleary someone maliciously misgendering me, i will ask for an appeal to a higher judge.
We are not gamelossing people for it. If you try to appeal that in a game it will be denied.
The main things to consider are the following
1.) its the internet anyone can literally claim anything
2.) if a person is religious and believe that men are men and women are women(which is correct) the. They have the right to refer to them as such. Im not sure why we are trying to make this a crime.
3.) missgendering would actually mean if i go to a person who is clearly a male and call them a female to make fun of them or vice versa. If I witnessed that at an event I would happily game loss the 5th grade bully.
