I'm not even a feminist or anything though. I just find it weird.

Hmm. Well, given that you are in perhaps the second most liberal city in America, this is probably inappropriate in today's world. Why don't you take this person aside and politely but firmly ask them to refer to you by whatever it is you wish to be referred to by. That's what I would do.
