I’ve always been curious, is this intentional correcting of seemingly innocent mistakes actually something that non-cis people care about? There’s asshole intentional misgendering and there are legitimate accidents, which can be a slip of the tongue (I regularly misgender people accidentally, despite wanting to be respectful, I put it down to many decades of cis programming which I now need to undo). As a gay man I’m more than used to people assuming I’m straight, I don’t speak for all gay men but the consensus in our circle is to politely correct but not get obnoxious, I would guess other queer demographics would be similar.

>is this intentional correcting of seemingly innocent mistakes actually something that non-cis people care about? By care about, do you mean "do they want it to be done" or "do they mind if it's done"? I have trans friends who have asked me in the past to correct people on their behalf privately because they don't want to make a big deal out of it. I do believe it was an innocent mistake.
