ask them tbh, I’m nonbinary and do not care when people call me bro/girl/queen when the person uses the term for everybody. They might have a preference or they might not, asking is going to be the best way. I promise it’s not as awkward as you think it might be, I get asked all the time and I never have an issue answering!

it’s really sweet you want to make sure they are comfortable and I’m sure they’ll see that
