For real, normal people don't care about misgendering. My sisters husband has been called she so many times and it just makes him laugh.

Hell on the internet practically every woman has been called he or him and didn't have a breakdown over it. It's so pathetic.

I work a call center, I am a male, I am normal, I get called Ma'am about 70% of the customers, never bothers me.

Yeah it's not normal to get that upset over a mistake. Most people I know don't correct if it's a one time interaction (because who cares) or will laugh and correct if they're aware it's someone they'll be talking to more.

Either way no one is upset or offended.

Ya I usually joke around and am like "man, is my voice that high pitch?" or "You know something I don't?" lol
