Masgender

Misgendering occurs when someone is referred to using language that doesn't align with their gender identity, such as using the wrong pronouns or gendered terms. It can happen intentionally or unintentionally and may cause feelings of invalidation or distress. Respecting a person's self-identified gender and using their chosen pronouns is important for their well-being and affirming their identity. If unsure, it's considerate to ask or use their name until correct pronouns are known.
