This perspective is objectively correct :^)
just dont mention it at all when introducing them. if it comes up as important to the plot, sure, if not, leave it.
or perhaps have the misgender them soon after meeting them, then have the character in question correct them, and then move on. because its accepted enough for people to not care about it, but not enough for it to be a conclusion a given person would make without prior information.
hey, maybe the character in question could go on a small rant about it to MC, to exposit the situation, then have the MC be all like “actually im cool with it i just didnt know” “oh” and have it be a neat moment.
or maybe have them talk about what it was like “in the past” (whether the information is from their memory or hand-me-down from a parent or someth) and how its different.

I did a sportsball and it didn’t even make me regret existing
This is probably the most shocking plot twist of my forum career

It turns out that sports suck somewhat less when you’re not playing with a bunch of people who kind of hate you

Time to play ‘am I actually getting meaningful benefits from this or is it the placebo effect’
