What is your favorite way to be gendered correctly?
For me it is she. I like it because it is me being referred indirectly by another person to another person in a 3rd party conversation. It's me being talked about by others. It's two or more people sharing their perceptions of me as a female. And I'm just sitting by passively enjoying it.
Ma'am. I am not sure why; I just like it when that happens on a first encounter.
I guess that I am not very progressive and politically correct like some ladies I have interacted with.
In my small conservative rural town, the locals, and especially the ones at my nearby coffee shop can call me darlin', sweetie, sweetheart, honey, hun, young lady, and I don't even mind sometimes being called sugar or babe. Of course Miss or Ma'am is always OK.
As a trans-woman I am just very glad that they recognize that I am a female and I am not at all offended by any of those terms.

I get don't mind getting called she, her, chick, chicky, miss, honey and the on the cable guy at work calls me Babe and Baby I don't know why but it is nice.
Obviously any correct gendering feels good, so "she", "her", "ma'am" are all great. But my favourite is "ladies". I hear it quite often when going somewhere with my wife, and I love it.
