Your first definition of gender not mattering is exactly right, and if the person doesn't show up to correct the use of pronouns then who cares.

There is no "honour" to defend for a random unknown individual. It's just for self validation or so that people who do such things feel like they belong to the "tribe" or whatever. Tribalism is the stupidest reason to use pronouns.
