I still get misgendered all the time. I feel pretty good if I get ma'am'ed more often than sir'ed over a given week, and I live in Seattle, where people know how to override their heuristics for trans people. I'm hoping FFS can improve that ratio, but I've resigned myself to always being visibly trans. The one place where I consistently get gendered correctly is over the phone, where the only available information is my voice and (maybe) my name.
