ig no but i wouldn’t mind
To use the wrong gender on purpose is derogatory, not recognizing the person you are talking to. Or at least most would probably consider it that way.
So the answer would obviously be a very strong no. At worst you may ruin someones day, at best you just look like an idiot.Ok? Sure, who cares.
Sensical? Nope.
I’d think you were blind if you addressed me as “sir”.
ST:V taught me that they prefer to be called “Captain”, but “ma’am” is acceptable in a crunch.
No, it’s not okay to intentionally attempt to misgender someone.
What’s wrong with a simple “yo” as form of greeting or to interject yourself into their conversation?
By accident? Probably fine as long as it’s not a pattern.
On purpose? No, that’s shitty.
Why would you do that?
Only if they’ve asked you to, are knighted, or are your superior officer
I think most women would not appreciate it
is it ok to call a woman “sir”
Only if she asks you to.

Stop doing this.
