Whenever someone misgenders me, I decide to properly correct them in the most courteous way possible. But if they continue to misgender me, I set them aside and let them revel in their ignorance. I'm no longer the kind of person that easily explodes over things (even though my pot tips over when I keep things in for too long). My preferred pronouns are something I feel everyone should respect, but I can understand that some people just lack the mental capacity to grasp a concept that, to be honest, is a lot more complicated than the trans* community can make it seem.
TL;DR: Be polite at first, and if not, show them just how painful being ignorant can be by ignoring them. (Excluding civil congregations, obviously; although, to be honest, if I can avoid the people that misgender me and others, gladly).
EDIT: I kind of support slip-ups, because that way people I care about (or people that genuinely want to stay informed) learn. When the slip-ups are too common, though, I don't really pride myself in keeping quiet.

VinceCleverUsername I don't know about you, but I'm pretty shy. I don't speak up much, including when I get misgendered. redface So, how do my fellow trans* Gaians correct people when you get misgendered? Do you do it at all? Do you get upset with them or is it just a kind reminder, like a quick smack upside the head?
Personally for me, I'm just glad I got recognized as something other than the usual, because I do take pride in being bi and trans, soooo I'll correct people on occasion but at least they get the idea! Honestly I guess I don't mind whatever people think I am, the ones who know are the ones who cared to ask. This is all personal opinion of course, but long answer short, being misgendered doesn't bother me. Just a reminder of who knows me and who doesn't know me very well~ 3nodding

i mean, i've been called a guy before by a little kid (to be fair, my hair was back), and i've just sort of politely corrected them-- something along the lines of, "actually, i'm a girl!"
my brother was once called a girl, too, but he had the whole hsm- skater haircut thing. it was a rough time for his hairstyle.
although, if it wasn't a little kid, i'd probably sort of go "oh, i'm actually ----." either that, or be passive aggressive about it, ahaha.
so um, just don't get in their face about it unless you can make sure they're doing it intentionally? but even then, like yelling at them isn't gonna do sh*t a lot of the time.
sidenote: it's generally the best to actually bring it up though, because some guy was wearing a tank top under a shirt, and had generally softer features. and i told them that their bra was showing. so, yanno, that went well. tl;dr don't let them be a big dumb idiot like me. x
