In such situations folks often take their lead from us. If we're awkward and embarrassed they're more likely to tread on eggshells around us. My personal way of dealing with this is just to be extra smiley and friendly. I never take offense if folks make mistakes and call me Sir etc., being offended can just alienate and make them feel embarrassed at their mistake.
It just takes a little time for folks to get over themselves and their preconceptions of female bodied folks who don't look like them.

Infact I took more offense at a femme calling me 'she' at weekend when she really should have known better.
