This is a quick video joke. I saw it on Twitter, supposedly from Dave Chappele's latest Netflix special. I'm not going to pay Netflix for it to make sure. If you somehow missed it, I wrote about why people want you to use different pronouns. It’s because they don’t want to be personally responsible for feeling comfortable and want to shift that responsibility to you. It’s not your responsibility to ensure they feel comfortable being who they are.

I work with a senior associate who identifies as a non binary person (biological). They dress in feminine attire. Within a month of my working with them I was scolded for using He/Him. I made extreme efforts to use their name as I don’t understand how to use the they/them/their language. HR advised me not to misgender and just use the name. It did not work and I was reprimanded two more times by this person. I apologized and explained that I had been using the standard English grammar for 30+ years. It is hard to learn and use a new language in real time. I did not realize it was part of my job responsibilities. The thing is I get along with this person. We discussed my pronoun struggle openly. Other workers had a similar issue. The global company in which we work describes misgendering as employee harassment and hate speech. This dynamic has made my job more stressful than it already is. The thing is, other than the gender dynamic we get along and can talk/laugh about stuff. So to be safe I physically avoid work spaces where this person is at. I fear being fired because I am made responsible for this persons mental health identity. Made to be a transphobe of hate speech for normal human error. It is not right! So I can relate to this posting in a big way.
It's not your responsibility to make sure they feel "gendered" correctly. The company should not be requiring it of their employees, and the company should have told the person who feels non-binary that their employees have free speech and the freedom of religion/belief and that they can't manage that.
Of course, the company chose poorly, and now you have to decide if you want to stay with the company or leave to find a business that actually cares for their employees rights. If everyone left the business when they realized how poorly they were being treated, then maybe the business would have changed their views on this. But I think it might be too far gone now.
I've written about transgenderism a few times, you can check the links to find more information on it. I hope things get better for you.
