==How to deal with unintentional misgendering== | |||
A lot of the time, misgendering is an accident. Most of the time, the best thing to do is gently explain to the person that you use different [[pronouns]], and you would like it if they respected that. Also, to avoid unintentional misgendering, if you feel comfortable, when you meet someone, tell them your preferred pronouns right away, if possible. | |||
