Even if you can't spend the time to check, what is so hard about just correcting yourself when someone asks you to use their preferred pronouns? It's just such a non issue.

And fucking no "they/them" isn't an easy way out post-correcton. Regardless of it being a safe usage before you are corrected.

Pure stubborn pigheadedness. Easier to put your back up and complain about other people than to admit you made a mistake.

I mean, it would legitimately be nice to use a set of gender neutral pronouns when you're in a big online space where the individuals you're talking to are virtually strangers. I thought that was kinda where the whole Xe/Xer was going, but people got nasty and vulgar with that as well. So it seems like we're strictly adhering to Rule 30 and assuming everyone is a dude unless tits are clearly on display.
