Using "they" in place of preferred pronouns is objectionable in some circumstances, yes.

Also, failing to use “they” as a preferred pronoun is objectionable.


Using "they" is fine if you are describing a hypothetical scenario in which gender is unimportant.

Otherwise, failing to use preferred pronouns or acknowledging the role of gender in a situation actively disenfranchises and diminishes the real challenges faced by some individuals.

If your concern has to do with not wanting to acknowledge the gender of trans or gender-fluid individualsThis site, Ilike all organizations and communities, prioritizes certain values over others. I think it is reasonable to prioritize inclusion highly - i.e., it seems reasonable to ask you to behave in a way that maximizes inclusion on the site, even if itthat behavior is contrary to your personal values.
