Before all the recent hullabaloo in recent years, I couldn’t remember which meant which way - because I could give two fucks - just let them be who they are.
Now I’ve had to learn a lot (which I don’t resent learning) so I can help stand up for their rights, and it’s really easy to remember. But it’s sort of like “biweekly” or “semiweekly” before you actually pay attention - both of those terms mean both something that happens twice per week or once every other week (although I tihnk biweekly more strongly implies twice per week, but it can absolutely be used for both).
