Don’t have fear. As long as you try and are respectful, it’s fine. Even though awareness about this is much better than maybe 20 years ago, a lot of people are still not used to it and are missing the necessary personal experience. Of course they might have difficulties adjusting. But as long as they are polite and try to improve, trans people can be expected to deal with it. Those who immediately call you a bigot are entitled assholes, imo.
It’s a fair common ground: you respect the identity of the trans person, and the trans person forgives you innocent mistakes.
