A simple google search seems to indicate that in the majority of cases, these "pronoun issues" are being decided in favor of the Teacher. There are exceptions however and some of this comes out of the world of business, not academia. I am in this position on occasion and I don't have any real trouble remembering because it is not very frequent an issue. But I accommodate to be respectful as well. I don't know if I should be sued if somehow I refuse (although I'm very unlikely to do so if asked specifically). Personally, I don't feel like I'm losing or giving up anything by being prosocial in such matters but I also don't think it should be illegal for someone to have a different position. Meanwhile, here's a thing on "misgendering" as a form of sexual harassment. I'm sure this comes up in some workplaces
