It would never happen because I'm not an asshole and do respect this person, whatever they want to be called.
So, I'm just curious of what you'd do if you were in that situation? Tell this person "too fucking bad, you look like a man so I'm calling you a he" and accept the fallout or are you just talking a big game online when in reality you'd be a big hypocrite?

He's got the thin blue line as his profile pic, would it be any surprise that he's a prick, essentially?
Saying you refuse to play along with someone's "mental disorder" is a pretty ridiculous thing to even state.
I'm not even some lefty woke guy either, it's just basic human respect at that point.

"I have one of these non-binary individuals I deal with, one of our large key customer/accounts"
That's nice, you're dealing with someone who has mental health issues is the right way to look at it. Which is fine, it probably doesn't have any bearing on their work.
"I'd have a pretty tough time explaining to my bosses that I refused to respect this person enough to use their desired pronouns, and as a result lost major business"
Sure, you do it so you don't have to explain to your boss why a person with mental health issues is mad at you. It's simpler to just play along, I don't disagree, you don't have to go out of your way to point out that they're messed up in the head. But I won't go out of my way and part-take in their delusions either.
"It would never happen because I'm not an asshole and do respect this person, whatever they want to be called"
I never said to call them out on it either. But since I assume most of us here are not dealing with this issue I could be honest. If you want to lie to your self so that you can feel morally good about your self go right ahead.

I would not go out of my way to point out to them 'hey you're a man / you're a woman', I'd just ignore it, probably refer to them by their name. If they put me in a position where I have to tell them what I think I will let them know or I'll avoid the topic. Again, like I said, between us here, that is how I feel. Quote:

This is why it is absolutely wrong to only send police officers to do mental health checks on people that need them.

Whoa, don't cut your self on all that edge. | I think the edgelord here would be the cop, whose job it is to deal with people, having no interest in basic respect for certain groups.
Why do you think people have problems with cops? You're the perfect example of why Vancouver pride said they didn't want VPD there, because members like you make marginalized people uncomfortable, for good reason.

I hope you'd have a good day. | I didn't say being gay, bisexual or a lesbian is a mental disorder.
Wanting people to call you xe / xir or whatever stupid thing you can come up with and having a total mental breakdown when someone doesn't is.
I did look at it from another angle. Here's the angle.
What you actually didn't know is that I'm transgender my self, and I use the pronouns 'master / commander' Monday through Friday and on the weekends I go by they / them. I am fluid after all. If you don't believe me it's because you're being bigoted and refuse to accept me for who I am.
That's what us trans people deal with on a daily basis though, not that you'd understand.

You're 100% right about that, but when people suggest that being put into the budget the "thin blue line" crowd loses their collective minds.
So here we are, stuck with people like this guy going in to "de escalate a situation" with a mindset like shown above.

But they should just kind of stay in the background and not intervene unless there are signs of danger. The psych nurse / social worker should be the one to take the lead and do the majority of the work.

It should be a risk they accept as part of the job.
Besides, most police officers don't want to go to mental health calls anyways.

My wife use to volunteer for St Paul’s in her youngest years. She would head into the downtown east side with a walkie talkie trying to find the individuals who missed their dialysis appointments (or was it HIV stuff, I can’t keep it straight). She’s pretty damn good at descalating situations but it was pretty unsafe. No matter how wel trained someone is in psychology, you can’t control drug behaviour.
Now talk about a large group, all being removed? I’d suspect it gets a little more tense.

I can't remember which city in the US created a mental health response team, I want to say it was Denver or Portland? But they haven't had to get assistance from police at all.

And so are most of the cities that've embraced policies you'd probably advocate for.
