I mean, people don't HONESTY get upset if you call them the wrong gender once. They get upset when you keep doing it even though they prefer to be called something else.

People getting steamed about an honest mistake is just a meme

Pretty much. Exceptions exist, as with everything, but this notion that absolutely every non-standard-gendered person will tear you a new one for making an incorrect assumption has no basis in reality, and largely comes from oversensitive people with a pathological aversion to being politely corrected.

Think of it like handedness: The vast majority of the population is right-handed, so assuming that somebody is right-handed until stated or demonstrated otherwise is pretty reasonable. If they tell you they're left-handed, though, it's very simple to say "oh, okay," and not buy them right-handed scissors or expect them to sit at righty desks moving forward. If you say "no you're not use your right hand and stop trying to be a special snowflake," you're an asshole.

Except that left handed people generally try to adapt to a right handed world unless there's some reason they can't. They don't insist we use their left handed scisors. Gender snowflakes could learn a lot from lefties.
