Does referring to someone as "they" when you are unsure of their chosen pronouns count as misgendering?


To add to that, some context: I really didn’t intend to start a gender thing - I would prefer us to focus on Molly’s awesomeness - but I live with people of various genders and these days “they” tends to be my default pronoun choice. I even started to refer to my cat and my wife as “they” despite them being cis gendered.

I will certainly apologise if I have offended Molly.


when she has her pronouns in her bio yeah
