He’s very religious and might have some rigidity with how he views gender, e.g. he doesn’t think trans people are their gender, the assignment of their sex at birth for him is the ultimate truth about their gender. Ironically he will respect a chosen name of a trans person, but won’t respect their pronouns, seemingly out of a rigid sense of not wanting to participate in deception, which is how trans people are perceived by him (even if innocently, the way a schizophrenic person is delusional through their mental illness).
