i just default to they/them for everyone unless i know for sure… nobody has ever been annoyed about it, and nobody has ever felt misgendered
On a rational level, I agree with this approach, for people who can do it. It doesn't work for me I practice, though, because breaking a 35 year habit takes effort and focus, and I just don't care enough about the subject to want to worry about it.
I've been doing that since middle school and oh boy did it ever peeve my teachers.
