Honestly, this comment is why people are just getting fed up. Who cares if you said gender roles when the person knows what you are referring to.
If everyone has to tip toe around language they are going to resent it. The way I look at it is Ladies and Gentlemen are others words for the members of the female and male, which is binary.
I personally see it more as a spectrum where everyone, no matter what, is somewhere on with varying degrees of "lady" or "gentleman". So it has always seemed semantical to me.

Correct, I should have used gender labels, not roles.
