You can do better.

I’d like to know what you are taking issue with

Calling people by their preferred names is a sign of the most basic level of respect, and bothering to learn their preferred name is part of that. You don’t have to call Republicans “Rethuglicans” to be disrespectful. In Sci-Fi terms, When Doctor Who insists on calling Mickey “Ricky”, it’s a sign of disrespect, even if there’s nothing insulting about the name “Ricky” per se and it could have been an honest mistake the first time.
