Treating me like some fuckin fag who wants to be referred to as a tranny or something and pushing their gayass ideology to protect 1% of the population.

Exactly. Going out of your way to verbally ask this question in order to make this fringe minority feel more comfortable is the equivalent of the customer service opening the phone call asking if you would rather he speak Tagalog than English. At least when the automated system asks if you want Spanish 1) it's an automated system and 2) there is a decent percentage of Spanish speakers in the US.
