basically I have been mistakenly called "she" by people a few times in recent memory, and I Do Not Like It and after having to have a think about it, I had to ask the people that did to Not Do That

except like, with one specific person, I found it comfortable and ok? slightly flattering even?

no idea if there's a word for "pronoun preference might specifically change depending on who I am talking to"

also, like, I wouldn't want people to feel like I am leaving them out or they are Not Good Enough to use certain pronouns for me, either

maybe I feel like, when that particular person does it, they aren't projecting anything onto me in the way it did when others have done it

@sharkNserg This is understandable; we've seen a lot of people who have like "only if we're close" pronouns, for instance
