Trans people, in ur opinion is it better to ask someone pronouns or use the pronouns one thinks someone has and, of course if corrected start using correct pronouns? I used to think asking was best but learned some trans ppl are sensitive about passing

I prefer that people assume and then correct themselves if asked to, I do the same thing, feels a lot less awkward to me

I prefer people assume or ask the whole room. if u ask one person it lets them know u clock them.

Use the pronouns for the gender you perceive the person to be, and shift if corrected

Like another commenter said, it’s best to ask the room so you don’t single anybody out. I don’t really mind somebody just asking me, though. Most people who aren’t clearly worried about passing as a binary will be fine with you just asking. Enbies have more of a variety in pronouns too so it works out lol.
