In other words, it's a policy whereby an individual may request to be addressed a certain way, and that request must be honoured.

Nothing more. Nothing less.

It sounds like you're the one generating false outrage.

NB: It's not exactly clear how/if she violated anything, in fact, it sounds to me like she did nothing wrong. But that's not the point I'm making: The point is that everything stems from this new policy.
