I think (in general) any one should be just allowed to say "oops" in any situation, in any case, however bad it is, to note he/she/(add any extra pronouns) has said/done and gone something that should not have happened or taken place. It's like software crashing of thinking, which happens and will happen more than we would like to.
And yet, in both cases, there is a significant subset of people who don't see it that way. They see it as your personal fault/failure as a human being from not knowing the right pronoun, or that the software crashing is your fault.
If I'm genuinely trying to adapt to something, I've got no time for intolerance toward my errors en route to learning. That's on the other person regardless of makeup or identity.
