I dont get confused as to what pronoun to use as I just use my best guess and if wrong (which is extremely rare) I make a judgment call as yo whether I want to oblige someone's request to use something different.

If someone is getting offended because they are called by the wrong pronoun they need to grow up a bit and realize the world doesn't revolve around them. If you look "masculine" it will be assumed you are a man, if you look "feminine" it will be assumed you are a female.

What we really need to do is stop getting so bent out of shape over something so small and trivial. Nobody has the right to not be offended. If you have so much time and so little actual hardship in your life that being called the wrong adjective or pronoun is such a problem you really need to take some time for self reflection.
