Some men are, but probably more women than men. The idea is if


someone identifies by something other than their birth gender, this would allow them to tell you how to refer to them. Like I said above, seems silly but not a big deal.

I worked with a guy who used to be Michael. Now goes by Michelle. Wants to be called Michelle, she, her, etc. It's weird to me, and Michelle still looks like Michael in drag, but I'm not going to be a dick and refuse to call her Michelle or "her/she". Can't always promise I'll get it right, but I won't get it wrong out of malice.

Now if Michelle wanted me to refer to her by "they or Xe" or something else along those lines, I'd probably just do my best to avoid ever referring to Michelle at all because that's just too stupid for me to go along with.
