First off, why do these people talk like they’re giving a speech in a comic book movie?
"If I must die, I would prefer to be stabbed in my chest, facing my enemy, that I may spit in his face as I expire." You’re on Twitter whining about the bad wizard lady, my friend. No one is trying to murder you.
Second, this man does not seem to grasp what is actually happening around him. His friends and colleagues are
not being "hypocritical" when they respect his pronouns but then do not shun the Harry Potter franchise or praise Lia Thomas. Rather, the disconnect between their words and their actions comes from the fact that
they are just being nice to him. His loved ones probably don’t have strong feelings about trans issues either way, and most of them probably think that a lot of TRA stuff is bullshit, but they still use his stupid pronouns and nod and smile because they’re being nice (and they don’t want him to have a tantrum or try to cancel them).
TRAs spent years setting up an environment in which people are obliged to agree with pro-trans slogans in order to not lose their jobs, and then they have a fit when people act in ways that do not match their verbal support? For someone who
works in a psychology department he sure doesn't know shit about how humans interact.
What he doesn’t realize is that when he has this kind of tantrum, it's not going to spur his cis allies into changing what they actually believe. They are just going to stop the fake support and start ignoring him altogether. The low engagement on his tweet storm should be a clue, but it won’t be.
And I've left out the best part, which is that this dude isn't even transitioning. He's just some random guy in a heterosexual relationship who has decided to use they/them pronouns:

If you want to amuse yourself, his whole twitter is full of similar speeches about how difficult and life-threatening it is to be a heterosexual man who uses awkward plural third-person pronouns:
