For our trans/enby comrades: if you don't know someone's preferred pronouns is referring to them as they/them/theirs appropriate? (hexbear.net)

Title. I am kinda wary of this because i don't want to misgender anyone but I am not sure how to refer to those who you don't know the preferred pronouns of? TIA, comrades!

Extra question: what if I forget about your pronouns and have to refer to you in a conversation that you’re not involved in? Is it rude to default back to they/them?

I have had several dozen students and while I do my best to get to know everyone, it is simply impossible to remember every single person, especially when you’re someone who are bad with names.
