    How should the choice be made which one to use?

    Use tolerance as a social contract instead of a default “everyone is tolerated” type. If you don’t tolerate someone else in society then you are no longer tolerated. Seems simple to me.

    Now you might say, but the people that want to be called a certain pronoun aren’t tolerating the hatred of another group that wants to address them “however they see fit”. Well that 2nd group isn’t tolerating the first group. The first group was just living and the second group started the intolerance. Also, if you use hatred to justify why you should be tolerated then you lost the fight.

    Hope that clears it up for you.

      You can only do that if you control society. If you don’t then intolerance towards nonnormative behavior becomes also a possible strategy.
