A former friend of mine once said he refused to call someone "they/them". When I asked why, he said "because it weird".
I told him I thought it was weird too, but if it makes them (har har) happy, why not just do it anyway? It doesn't hurt anyone, it costs zero effort and it makes someone happy. I fail to see the issue.
Your former friend probably has some preferences and inclinations that others may find weird and doesn't realize it. He probably couldn't comprehened that, though.
