I've had a good number of trans people in my classes over the years. I've frankly been shocked by the number of people who do not care if you guess their gender correctly. Obviously it isn't the norm, but they are out there.

Also worth noting especially with younger people they can't disassociate online with offline.

I can't speak for everyone, but in my experience I'll not express anything externally when property/improperly gendered, but I'll still feel happy/sad when it happens.

Fair enough! I personally try to stick to preferred names and pronouns, but to err is human and I do make mistakes pretty often.

Yeah, and I don't think any reasonable person will hold a grudge against a mistake.
