being married to a trans person doesn't automatically make you good
And thinking that inclusion is about offence, and refusing to not be a shit to people either way, makes you at the very least, a wilfully ignorant ass..

I get that. If someone is purposefully defying your request, that really speaks to their character flaws.
At the same time, the person making this request is probably also going to find a lot of people who are perplexed by the request, and who might subsequently keep their distance, because it's really difficult to adhere to given its extremely common usage in the American lexicon. Rather than tempt fate and offend someone, it may be easier to just avoid talking to them.
So this is a decision to be made by the person making this request, I guess
