Positive Misgendering

positive misgendering.

using the wrong term, maam even if its a he/him or anything similar, or sir even if its a she/her or anything similar. this only applies if its in a joke and used purely for comedy, both sides must be comfortable and fine with this or else it's negative.

person 2: maam, this is a Wendy's
