Is it normal for a female PC to be addressed as "Sir" by NPCs?

That would have been amazing if it were the case, though!

Maybe Josie using 'ser' is something that happened too early on for me to recall, then. I've started a couple new Inquisitors, one of which is female, so I'm sure I'll spot it soon enough.

 

She used it during the first cutscene with her.  The one where she's talking to the noble who owns Haven.  I am 99% sure she called my noble Ser Trevelyan.

I think that's what happened too. "Ser" can't only be a title for knights and the like, but honorifics. Which is why Trevelyan, a noble, or Blackwall, part of a respected group, are called Ser even without having any authority.

My Lavellan and Adaar both got the title 'Mistress'.  Respected, but lower than a Ser.  I think an f!Trevlyan getting that title is deliberate.

It's definitely deliberate, I've just didn't know what the other races got because I haven't played them. Using "Mistress" is weird though, instead of gender-neutral titles they already invented like "serah" or "messere".

 

What are male humans and non-humans referred to as in this scene?

I remember on my very first PC everyone kept referring to him as she, I thought the bug would go away but once I got to Haven it was still happening so I had to start an entirely new game.

That was an early bug. If you didn't flip through the race and gender cards during character creation the cutscenes would all treat you like a female rogue.

Yeah, I actually did flip through everything and that's why I thought it happened.

In most cases you'll be called Ser (or Serah). They are neutral titles, and not the same as 'sir'.

 

Sometimes you'll be called 'Lady'. In this circumstance, males are called 'Lord'. Sometimes it will be 'Master' and 'Mistress'. At no point in a line is Ser paired with a gendered honorific.

The only 'Ma'm' I can think of  came from Iron Bull (at some very specific moment). It seemed like an undesirable ME3\Vega easter-egg to me, because it's not something used in Thedas widely. I loved the 'Boss' trick though.  

 

It's usually 'ser', 'lady' or one of the multiple titles (Inquisitor, Herald etc).
