Speech is constitutionally protected.  Not calling someone by their preferred name or title because you don't want to makes you a jerk.  Not calling someone by their preferred name or title because the government-made laws preventing you from doing so is censorship.

We are dangerously close to the holocaust denying scenario except right now it is coached in requiring "neutral" language concerning the subject as well as things such as slavery and civil rights (can't have the kiddies learning that there were actual discriminatory laws}
