For context, Grace Lore's letter was in response to another letter written several days earlier wherein the writer said that they would not use somebody's preferred pronouns, but will instead "refer to someone who looks male as “he” and someone who looks female as “‘she.” If I’m not sure, I could always use the word “it.”"
The position taken by the original letter is garbage and it was rightfully called out by Lore.
NParker, your position that "respect is earned" is also garbage. Treat everyone with respect. Making people "earn your respect" before you treat them respectfully is incredibly entitled.
