okay psa
If you accidentally misgender someone
Apologize once, I repeat ONCE
as in ONE TIME
correct yourself
and move on.
Don't make a big deal about it.
Don't make it awkward.
You're making the other person uncomfy in the process if you say sorry over and over and over and over again.
Let it go down like this:
"So, I was talking to Jamie the other day and she said-"
"Actually, Jamie's pronouns are they/them."
"Oh, okay, thanks for correcting me! Anyway, guess what they said,"
or
"So she said-"
"Actually, my pronouns are he/him,"
"Oh, sorry. So he said,"
It's deadass that easy don't like trip over yourself and apologize profusely, it's uncomfy
and if someone comes out to you and tells you their pronouns
DONT SAY SORRY
YOU DIDNT KNOW, HOW WERE YOU SUPPOSED TO GENDER THEM CORRECTLY THE ENTIRE TIME YOU KNEW THEM IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW-
sorry, just a big pet peeve of mine.
Either accept it and move on or apologize ONCE, and then move on just as quickly.
It's that easy.
Thanks and have a great rest of your day/night,
Jem
