It's just that they like respecting trans people's identities even less than being gender neutral - they definitively succeeded at being transphobic. It would have been different if Roem was non-binary and they were acknowledging it, but nope.
The whole "there's no women on the internet" thing comes to mind. It's the same kind of disrespect - pushback when you identify yourself as a woman/NB person with "everyone is a man, tits or gtfo". Even if it's dressed up in the "pretty" clothes of "only what you say matters here", it's still driven by misogyny.
