I think a lot of people are calling it homophobia, because LGBT is usually associated as a group.

Uemarasan is right in that that "sex" and "gender" are different. "Sex" is biological, and "gender" is social. However, if a person decides to do sexual reassignment surgery, then clearly this person wants to change they gender and sex, so this:

Unless Hide himself expressly requests me to use the feminine pronoun to refer to him, I don't think I am beholden to do so. Political correctness and fear of social reprisal shouldn't dictate anyone's personal choices and actions. It didn't in Hide's case, and it shouldn't in my case either.
doesn't make sense. It would be pretty obvious that she would want to be a she, and not a he that likes to dress up as a she.
