How is saying there are males and transgender males being disrespectful?
If a transgender male or female has a preferred prounoun, more power to them.

No offense but I find that hard to accept because she doesn't need it. As you said a preferred pronoun isn't in issue with her.

Wrong. Preferred pronouns I want to be called isn't an issue for me.

What do you find hard to accept? It's not about her, it's about helping customers to be respectful.

I meant the whole topic.

It isn't. The disrespect is with your presumptions.

We were taking about names being on their name badges. If the name isn't on their name badges it defeats the purpose of the name badge.

You left off this part of my post...

Explain to me how they would be disrespectful or why they wouldn't know she is a she without it being on her name badge.
It must be a city thing.

But the name clearly does not give the full picture. Hence the pronoun.

The pronouns to use.

I missed it off because it's irrelevant to the point of using badges to demonstrate preferences.

It is, to repeat myself, not specifically about my wife, it is a company wide matter so all customers can see the preferred staff pronouns. So no-one gets disrespected, no-one gets embarrassed, and no-one has to imagine anything.
It's not a city thing. It's a people thing. It is a chain of small shops located all across the country.

If they go by Sally or by Mike it shouldn't be hard to figure out what pronoun they like. Hence the name.

Let me give you a scenario...
I go into a restaurant to eat. A person comes to my table and says "I'm Linda and I will be your waitress today. What can I got you too drink?"
I will order without a thought.
Yada yada yada.. I eat then pay for my meal and say thank you ma'am.
But...
I go into a restaurant to eat. A person comes to my table and says "I'm Linda and I will be your waitress today. My preferred pronouns are her and she(which wasn't needed). What can I got you too drink?"
My first thought will be must be a transgender.
Yada yada yada... I eat then pay for my meal and say thank you ma'am or just thank you depending on how hard she pushed the pronoun stuff on me.

Its voluntary, not mandatory.

And, to repeat again, not everyone is called Sally or Mike. There are other names. Some of which one cannot "work out." What is the preferred pronoun of Sam? Or Chris? Or Phoenix? Or Kai? Or have a go at these:
- Gender-neutral names
