I won't bring it here, but I only know of one persona's gender that I refused to acknowledge. I can gather who the other probably was and that would have been by shameful accident.

Why refuse to acknowledge someone's gender at all? Its such a dumb hill to die on. Even if the person you are misgendering is objectively terrible, you aren't going to convince anyone you have a legitimate argument, because they will immediately and justifiably write you off for being bigoted.
