Or they just don't care. Have no clue about pronouns, no interest in learning.
Maybe they never even bother learning other people's names right. People like that do exist.

Sure you can. No one chooses which socio-economic status they were born into. No one chooses their "class." And since both of those literally are the most fundamental "starting states" at birth for all outcomes in life, I'd say it is a valid dysphoria.
It's not common, yet. But we do see the vestiges of it from the rich-people hate from the communists and the celebrity/Kardashian-esque worship we see. Seems like class-dysphoria to me. It can be very unhealthy, as well.
Give it another 20-40 years - we might see classism become more of a thing (because it already is a thing).
A lot of truth in this, and for most people worldwide class is immutable, they will never have the opportunities to move up and at the top are cushioned from the problems that might cause them to move down. This is the system propagated by conservatism.
Sure however if you did use the wrong pronoun and someone simply asked you to use the correct ones they supplied, why not just respect that. Most times you can simply use their name if it's that big of a problem for you.
It probably depends on how the offended party takes it.
It's like me and my cigars. If I'm sitting outside enjoying a smoke, and someone looks at me sharply and says "Put that damned cigar out! I don't want your second hand smoke!", I'd probably respond by blowing a little smoke in their direction.
If they were polite about it, or not being jerks about their precious sensitivities, I'd likely go somewhere else, or put it out.

That was specifically about Bashar Teg repeatedly referring to me and Eon as "traps" and "drag queens" in a specifically derogatory manner, despite knowing we were trans, plus him weaponising my trans identity when talking to Surtur in the past.
If I'm gonna get used as a battering ram to "own the Trumpers" or whatever you want, then I'm certainly going to point those people out when they act in a manner considered actually transphobic, and may go harder on them to respect my pronouns to 'test their faith'. I find it interesting to see how some nominally left-aligned people can totally flip on their supposed alliance with minority people when those minorities disagree with them. Unsurprisingly, these people are usually straight, white males. Imagine my shock.
The part about politeness and rudeness in their culture, I mean.
The concept of "If you're right, you get to be a dick about it" doesn't really work. Act like an *******, and enjoy being treated like an *******.
How this relates To my cigar hobby: I'm outdoors, in a place that allows smoking, I'm well within my rights to smoke there. The person yelling at me had no reason whatsoever to open up with biting my head off, but he did. So **** him.

The current narrative is that I'm playing the victim and acting like Bash's behaviour hurt my wil fee fees. That is incorrect. I'm simply trying to show the hypocrisy at play.
And as for pronouns, if someone makes a legitimate mistake, and you bite their head off over it, are they really an ******* for continuing the mislabeling?
What, privilege determines who has to back down, and who gets to be a dick?
I disagree. No excuse whatever for going for blood as the first move. You give someone the benefit of the doubt, and then judge them accordingly.

Nah, it was a dude bro. You never transition into those jerks, you try and evolve away from them.

I always found it much easier to just have one of those sharting moments after a big lentil curry night and I find being anti social and social distancing no problem at all even in the bussiest of stores/restaurants
Sure you walk funny and smell like shit but the fear of covid19 slips away in addition to worrying about rude ppl cutting you off in the exit line or being rude with improper pronouns
