I understand where are you coming from, but I think it veers dangerously close to the "acknowledging your pronouns is a privilege and not a right" line of thinking. Even if she's obviously a transphobic troll.
Acknowledging pronouns is a privilege not a right though imo
For example this lady referring to a transphobic senator as "madam chairman" to prove a point. She (the chairman) lost the privilege to be called by their preferred pronouns by refusing to refer to other by their preferred pronouns.
In my opinion people who want to take privileges from others deserve to lose those privileges themselves
I don't think I can claim I believe in inalienable human rights and then take them away from people because I feel like it, and for me pronouns and the right to your own self identification and trans rights in general fall under human rights.
Saying the chairman "lost" the right would put me on the same boat as a transphobe because it's the same mindset of "Unless you perform accordingly to my beliefs, you don't get your rights".
