It's hard to take anyone who uses the term White Knight unironically seriously, especially when it's not even in the right context (and in fact comes out as transphobic)
It's hard to take someone seriously when you see the world as transphobic when it's not. (rollseyes) But it's also hard to take someone seriously when you bypass the actual person to go around them and get HR involved without talking to the actual person first.
What if the trans person isn't too bothered by the misgendering? And they get pulled into a meeting from HR out the blue and causes more uproar and confusion?
It's not a good way to handle the situation, in the business world.

Does he actually care? Does he want you to do this for him? You might get this dude in the middle of some shit that he doesn't want to be involved in.
The trans co worker was literally just complaining about it to me yesterday, and my boss literally several times has misgendered him right to his face, like literally standing right next to him.
Ah I missed that part. Thanks.
But yeah, I'd still ask them first before going to HR. At least get them involved.
