I (22m) am tired of being corrected on gender pronouns by my friend (21f)

Trans person here, this actually is a form of misgendering to a lot of people though your roommate is being a bit rude about bring it up. The reason it's a "problem"/not politically correct is that a person told you their pronouns and yet you're not actually learning them, you're choosing to be more comfortable yourself by using the blanket they/them rather than doing what makes them comfortable. It's like if someone told you that you shouldn't wear shoes in the house so you said okay and only wore sandles in the house now. You're technically no longer wearing shoes like you were asked, but you're not actually doing what was asked of you. Plus a lot of the time this type of language adjustment means that the person isn't actually okay with trans people and is trying to be polite with their transphobia by choosing they/them instead of admitting the person is trans by using their preferred pronouns.
