  Only if they’ve asked you to, are knighted, or are your superior officer

  It’s a bit odd. Would you like to be called ma’am or miss if you were a guy?

  By accident? Probably fine as long as it’s not a pattern.

  On purpose? No, that’s shitty.

  No, it’s not okay to intentionally attempt to misgender someone.

  ST:V taught me that they prefer to be called “Captain”, but “ma’am” is acceptable in a crunch.

  To use the wrong gender is derogatory, not recognizing the person you are talking to. Or at least most would probably consider it that way.
  So the answer would obviously be a very strong no. At worst you may ruin someones day, at best you just look like an idiot.

  What’s wrong with a simple “yo” as form of greeting or to interject yourself into their conversation?

  Only if she asks you to.

  like sometimes i’ll see a woman at the store or talk to a woman and i’ll say “excuse me, sir”.

  Stop doing this.
