Also worth noting especially with younger people they can’t disassociate online with offline.

I can’t speak for everyone, but in my experience I’ll not express anything externally when property/improperly gendered, but I’ll still feel happy/sad when it happens.

Fair enough! I personally try to stick to preferred names and pronouns, but to err is human and I do make mistakes pretty often.

Yeah, and I don’t think any reasonable person will hold a grudge against a mistake.
