From the sounds of it, it's more a general politeness thing than a gender or trans one.
It behooves all of us to make an effort to treat other people nicely. That includes calling people by the appropriate pronouns, but also includes allowing for people's mistakes.
On a practical note, it seems that the event organisers could possibly train their people better on such matters. On the other hand, if you present in an androgynous way, it's not surprising if people get the wrong gender some of the time. If you rant at someone every time, it's not doing anyone any favours, least of all yourself.
