"Did you just assume my gender" is generally a throwaway meme by right-leaning trolls these days. It's a caricature of an outraged feminist or non-binary person, not really a sentence you'd normally hear from either of the two groups. But on a more serious note the article does switch from the neutral "they" to a gendered "he" in at least one place (see the other comment), which is not just unnecessary but also inconsistent. Just stick with "they", unless the person's gender is important (note: it almost never is, even "women's issues" don't require an implicit "she" and using "they" in these cases is actually even more inclusive because it also covers trans men).
