It’s okay to make a mistake. Here’s what you can do if you accidently use the wrong
pronoun.
Apologize.
Use the correct pronoun.
Commit to using the correct pronoun next time.
It’s important to avoid making a big scene and carrying on with an elaborate apology.
This puts more of the focus on you and your feelings of embarrassment/guilt and draws
undue attention to the situation. Remember, it’s not up to the person you misgendered
to make you feel better about your mistake.
