Why do people get annoyed when they are asked what are their preferred pronouns?

Ive just started college and in seminar the lecturer asked us to introduce ourselves and what are our prefered pronouns. Several of the students got snarky at this and rolled their eyes and scoffed. Why? Its just polite to do what you can to make sure you don't offend people.

I do sometimes wonder how we are going to remedy this issue when males look and Sound like females and females look and Sound like males but, neither identify as such. I know I can't be able to not offend at some point. I don't want to offend.
I think there is going to have to be some leeway. One cannot claim discrimination based on innocent ignorance.
