I still have a bit of trouble remembering that my MTF friend, who started transitioning at the time I met her, is a "she", whereas my other friend who came out as FTM after I'd known him for a bit, is pretty easy to remember.
So to answer my question, how do you react to when someone calls you by a different pronoun than you prefer? Do you acknowledge that sometimes someone can make a mistake, especially in the early days?

It offends me only when the male pronouns are not used in the LGBT community. i expect the community to have a grip but it doesn't. I'm not transitioned yet, so I can't expect the general the public to use male pronouns—but it's funny, because i look more male now than ever.
I live in the south and a friend pointed out that the reason southerners may be using female pronouns with me is because they're afraid using male pronouns that may offend me. ha!
I like male pronouns and nothing spelled with a "y".
I'm not a lesbian and have NEVER ID'd as one. I'm transgered/male and male ID'd because that's how I am wired. I cannot be with a female partner as a woman. I am male dominate (not meant in the BDSM context)
