Title. I am kinda wary of this because i don't want to misgender anyone but I am not sure how to refer to those who you don't know the preferred pronouns of? TIA, comrades!

So my conception (at least, as it relates to me) is that they/them is fine, until you know my pronouns, at which point it becomes misgendering as I dont use they/them. I wont be upset with people for using they/them, but if someone only uses they/them for me even after knowing I use she/her i will be a bit upset.
