You could get some kind of pin with your pronouns so people can know without having to say

#

if that's safe for you and if you're comfortable with it

If the other trans person has set their pronouns set before you, then it could be out of habit that they refer to you as he/him but you also mention that it has been a while so idk
(Yes, i just wasted your time)

Yeah idk it might be them just forgetting especially of you don't correct them BC they will feel bad for accidentally calling you the wrong gender but if you feel like they are doing it on purpose then you can tell them to stop and if they don't then their probably not very good friends so

to add to mr.diabetoman, if it is them forgetting then gentle correction is still the right way to go. not later in private, just when it happens or after theyre done speaking, say something like "hey please remember i use 'she.' they wont ever use your correct pronouns if you dont speak up when it happens. i went through the same thing with my dad when i first came out, gentle correction is good 🫶 🍀
