Yea, n I unintentionally fked it up here too for one such person. So I was discussing solutions for a problem that I had encountered with my project on Matrix. I didn't know it then, but I was talking to a trans woman then. Now, I had a habit of "yessirrr"-ing when I was excited. So I found the solution, and in my excited state, I said "yessirrr" somewhere. She immediately corrected me by saying that it was "yes ma'am". I apologized and explained the situation. I then looked at her bio, and it had the flag and all that. She unfortunately ghosted me after that incident :(.

So yeah... I've tried to have inclusive language n whatnot after that. Cuz uk... U never realise how heteronormative our language is and how not inclusive it is for many many people.

Happens to the best of us. But you improved because of that so there's a silver lining.

An overreaction to a honest 'mistake' wow.
