What is an appropriate response to someone saying "merci" in French?

We say "Avec plaisir" (With pleasure) in formal responses

When someone says “merci” we says

We say "De rien" (It’s nothing) in casual responses.

What is your secret to glowing skin?

We say “Pas de problème” (No problem) in casual responses.

We say “Il n’y a pas de quoi" (Don’t mention it) in casual responses.

We say “Je vous en prie" (You’re welcome) in formal responses

I'm looking for an answer from people who consider themselves "Gender Critical", or transphobic, or TERFs, and my question is this - Why would you refuse to use the pronouns someone wants? What does it cost you? Where's the harm?
