So i use they/them pronouns and I have this one kinda close friend that strictly uses she/her when addressing me (i’ve told her my pronouns), and I can’t tell if she does it on purpose or just forgets :(

set a clear boundary, if they don’t respect it, ditch them. You deserve better

(gently) correct her every time she does it. It’s annoying and awkward, but you gotta enforce it to break the habit

Nah at a certain point you gotta stop being gentle. Be blunt. You don’t have to be rude, but don’t walk on eggshells.
