Here’s my general-purpose solution:

Give the student two choices:

1. We will use one of the two traditional pronoun families (he, she, his, hers, etc.) you’d like us to use.

2. We will use use your full name, e.g. Joe Brown, and never use a pronoun to refer to you. Also, we won’t put a Mr. or Ms. on front.

I agree. To piss em off, I would tell them I have never been taught on how to appropriately teach a transgender, therefore I may not be able to teach them well, if at all.
I think most of the stuff going on in the lower ages is just nascent attention getting, and rebellion. And too busy to care parents.

When announcing awards at my school’s 8th-grade graduation I always used ‘Miss’ for the girls. The old rule was a girl is a Miss from the cradle to the altar. No one objected, or to the fact that boys were just first name, last name.

That's what I would do.
