Same. In fact, I do this irl too, sometimes even when I do know the gender of a person. It is kind of interesting to see when you are talking to person A about B, and A and B don't know each other, how A will automatically assume a (very often wrong) gender. E.g.:

"Yeah, I was talking with 'em yesterday; they seem nice."
"That's good...are you going to work with her again today?"
"It's a guy."

Ooh this kind of thing happens to me a lot
My best friend is a guy and since I'm a girl everyone assumes my best friend is a girl too... I normally just say they/them about him to avoid people judging me but sometimes I'll explicitly state he is male and they somehow ignore it and call him a her 🙄
