In English, we don’t really need to think about this. Our the’s and an’s are always the’s and an’s. But in Spanish, the’s and an’s always follow a masculine or feminine tense. “las zanahorias” and “el perro” are a few examples. But if someone claimed that they fit under neither tense, what is it that they would alter? Would it just go under masculine, would they be referred to as something like “la hombre”, or would the language just be reworked to fit it?

If someone is trans- it will probably be the gender that is visible to the public. For example, a man that is dressed and identifies as a woman, would be called "la". There is no gender neutral terms in Spanish as "the" in English At least that is how I imagine it. Here in Argentina we usually don't care much, and if someone is offended, we say sorry and move on.
