Do as you will, but I would feel SUPER awkward, not to mention rude, referring to Buck Angel as she or Valentina Sampaio as he. Those pronouns just don’t fit them anymore.
I’ve reached a point where I only care about a person’s gender if I want to sleep with them. I don’t like surprises.

gender non-conforming does not mean you exit/enter a sex class.
GNC men can be feminine, caring, beautiful, etc yet remain men
GNC women can be masculine, strong, handsome, etc yet remain women

as you say gender is pretty irrelevant however sex exists and matters...
If you feel offended because I refer to Buck as he, that’s on you, and you might want to give some thought as to why that might be.
it's either available or not
single sex spaces and resources have been hard fought for and really only a part of public life for like 150 years
cutting off bits or adding them on to gender nonconforming people doesn't make them the opposite sex.
if someone tells me they want to be known as dave rather than sue - i'm fine with knowing a woman who believes she's a man named dave...
there's all sorts of belief systems i accept but don't agree with
it's part of living in a society
I just don’t feel the need to be the gender police.
It takes WAY too much energy to police somebody else’s identity when I just don’t care that much.
It doesn’t hurt me in any way to let others be the gender they identify as.
