OK, but I don't really think it's relevant which gender they are.
Relevant to business? No. Common courtesy requires not mis-gendering people though.
I really think you're making a big thing out of nothing. The image didn't show up because I read the text on my phone and the name is foreign to me, so I didn't make the connection there either. Of course I could have found it out, but since it's completely irrelevant to me, I didn't bother. I suppose it does say something about me that I default to assume she was male, but statistically speaking I probably would be right.
Is simply pointing out a mistake "making a big thing out of nothing"?

I don't understand why you claim I'm "making a big thing" and write a paragraph explaining yourself instead of just saying "Oops! So it is!"
