I'm not at all bothered if someone doesn't know the gender and just uses whatever pronouns for whatever reason. I'm specifically talking about how she has called her own cat a he instead of she and will call my dogs by the wrong genders even when I've said he/she in the same discussion 5 seconds before.

The question was what do you hate. Not what do you hate that's existentially profound and universally accepted as an objective atrocity.
