How to quickly adapt to someone's new pronouns: every time you mess up, mentally use their pronouns (preferably with compliments) in 5 different sentences. Example: "They have a cool outfit today. I like their hair. I should call them later." You need to PRACTICE.
It's not on them to keep reminding you. It's on you. And you won't get it right by just assuming you'll 'get it next time. You need to put the active work in, but its only a minute or so and it can make a world of difference.
Blowing up so, I'll use this to promote social distancing, use of face masks, and following, honoring, and listening to the stories of trans women of color. They have far more important things to say than I.
