My experience as a regular here, a trans person myself, and as friends with many trans people is that this is how most people handle this. No reasonable person gets mad at you for using the wrong pronouns even if it hurts their feelings, unless you are doing it on purpose of course. Even people who you’ve told your pronouns to might make an honest mistake at some point. It happens.
Yes, having our pronouns visible is so we don’t have to explicitly tell them to people, and some cis people also use them as a show of solidarity and/or to make it so that phobes can’t assume someone is trans by the presence of pronouns.
