If you imply the wrong gender to someone, and they correct you, do you continue to double down and insist that they are the gender you think they are? If so, then it’s rude (at the very least, I’d say). If someone corrects you on their gender, and you apologize and use their preferred gender going forth, than it’s all good usually. We’re not talking about people making mistakes, we’re talking about people refusing to correct themselves when they do make mistakes.
I mean, it’s not hard to go by how people would like to be addressed, is it? If I was speaking to you, and got your name wrong and then continued to use the incorrect name after you corrected me, wouldn’t you be pissed?
