The person in the email strikes me as a contradiction. On the one hand, they're posting their pronouns presumably to indicate some sort of support for inclusivity? On the other hand, they're actively strong-arming and bullying a person into paying for normal access...

I'm sure it's fully lost on that person. It feels so discordant to me.
