Here's the rub. They get really pissed off if you "misgender" them.
That's my point, though. How often, in a work email, do you directly reference a person's gender? The only time I can ever see it being a problem is if you Cc someone on an email that the Cc'ed person is the subject of.
I think it makes even less sense in a college setting. Now, this could be because I majored in Economics and most lectures had 0 interaction, but I feel like most professors don't even address students. If they do address a student, it is usually directly.

I refuse.
Far more bad can come from it than good.
If Tom wants to be called Becky, I'll call him Becky. If he wants to be called xer, frick that.

This 100% wasn't a thing either when I was in undergrad or law school, but professors routinely referred to people as "Mr./Ms. (Lastname)". So while the pronoun itself wouldn't matter, I could see how it would simply act towards gendering in general. I had a few undergrad professors refer to students by their first name, but even that wasn't super common. It pretty much didn't exist in law school.

Its virtue signaling that some take too far.
That's all it is. Its a fad, it will pass. I imagine most normal well adjusted people don't use them.
