Depending on circumstance, you could just be confused / not acknowledge they’re talking about you, least aura loss lmaoooo - not very effective for correcting tho

I always repeat what the person says but with the correct pronouns, it just feels like the least confrontational way to correct someone. For example, if they say “she doesn’t like XYZ” just say, without sounding accusatory or rude “you’re right, he doesn’t like XYZ”

I ignore them until they correct themselves.

Quickly yet offhandedly. Don’t want to sound confrontational, but you want to stay persistent. Correct every time

Puts it on them also, like “oh you thought I was a she/he? Weird”
