Listen...my name used to be only in the boy's section of the baby book when I was a kid, it wasn't until years later that it was used for females and listed in the girls section and is now a more popular name for females.Listen I have a daughter named Elliot, we know all about people assuming gender based on name, it’s to be expected when you choose a unisex name for your child.
You would never have a news story refer to a man by his gender in a news story like that where his gender is irrelevant to the story. No matter the profession, even in a female dominated profession.
And it is sexist to do so. Just as it is sexist to “notice I had a female pilot and told my wife what a smooth landing we had” as if that should be less than expected.
You've got a stickler about gender but respectfully, this isn't the situation to 'fight the cause' so to speak. At least IMO.
