like sometimes i’ll see a woman at the store or talk to a woman and i’ll say “excuse me, sir”.
What’s wrong with a simple “yo” as form of greeting or to interject yourself into their conversation?
To use the wrong gender on purpose 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.Ok? Sure, who cares.
Sensical? Nope.
It’s a bit odd. Would you like to be called ma’am or miss if you were a guy?
ig no but i wouldn’t mind
By accident? Probably fine as long as it’s not a pattern.
On purpose? No, that’s shitty.
I think most women would not appreciate it
ST:V taught me that they prefer to be called “Captain”, but “ma’am” is acceptable in a crunch.
I’d think you were blind if you addressed me as “sir”.
is it ok to call a woman “sir”
Only if she asks you to.

Stop doing this.
No, it’s not okay to intentionally attempt to misgender someone.
Why would you do that?
Only if they’ve asked you to, are knighted, or are your superior officer
