    Can relate. I personally don’t understand the assuming gender thing, because it’s sort of a natural response. Now if you’re corrected, and you persist, of course that’s not okay.

    I have had that accidental mixup too and you’re right, no harm was meant but some harm was there. It’ll definitely stick with you. When I was younger, I had long hair and no facial hair, I’ve been mistaken for a woman/girl, and you know it’s a bit jarring, but you can tell it was an honest mistake.

    As long as you’re admitting when you’re wrong, and not intentionally trying to upset people, you really shouldn’t be faulted for much, mistakes happen.

    You know, there was a time someone thought I was misgendering them on purpose, even after a correction due to how my sentence was worded. After rereading it I totally got it, but there’s always time to explain later. People fuck up. I’ve found that no matter what you say, there’s a 50% shot of someone getting upset about at least one aspect. I’ll frequently say things out of either irony or sarcasm, and I don’t /s, I feel like it takes away from the joke. I say just have a good time
