Nah...I think it's just simple courtesy.

If HQ wants to be called Lord God Quirk, it is absolutely no skin off my back to call him this.

If Ibram wants to be called Erica or she, it harms me not a bit to comply.

In both cases, doing as requested is courteous and polite. I've hurt no one by going along with the program. I'm intelligent enough to know that HQ is not MY Lord God, although maybe he's someone elses? I am aware that Ibram has the biological organs of a male, but if this is not what she feels defines her gender, who am I to argue?

I think it's terribly arrogant to assume that the only "definitions" that matter are the ones we personally know and use.
