I don’t want to misgender but in a random meeting with some one i just met if I accidentally misgender and am corrected I’ll apologize and not do it again. (Also working on just dropping gendered terms)

Nah you’re good.

Sentiment matters. It only matters when someone intended it, or when someone is clearly not trying and has made the mistake many times even after being told. The latter gets a bit murky and comes down to effort.
