Misgender
Self-inflicted psychological abuse transgender people experience when they attempt to attach pronouns to themselves that do not align with biological reality.

People misgender others when they use someone's "preferred pronoun" when it is obviously not their biological sex. Misgender is to use the wrong English pronoun; "he" and "she" have well defined English meanings. Misgendering people is rude; don't misgender people!
