He/him doesn't mean you're a man. I know quite a few non-men who use he/him. They're not some big gender statement, you're just stating the way you'd prefer to be referred to.
When someone uses the wrong pronouns, it's using the wrong pronouns, misgendering is a thing they're doing while they use the wrong pronouns. If I didn't know your pronouns were he/him and I called you "they" I would be using incorrect pronouns to refer to you, but I wouldn't be misgendering you.
Because pronouns are an aspect of gender identity and expression
I mean yeah isn't that what I said? I don't like everybody and myself having a gender statement stamped on every post. He/him doesn't necessarily shout "I'm a man" because dogs and cats can also be he/him. But it is a statement on my gender appended to every post I make, which feels like I'm shouting "YO MAN HERE" to my chapo friends.
edit: but I'm not trying to increase the quotient of antagonism on the site so I'll keep it until we collectively forget about it.

When someone calls you the wrong pronoun, you're being misgendered. how could he or she not be a gender statement?
