I would do it so as not to upset her but nobody should have language forced onto them.
Exactly I worked in a call centre once and a trans woman called in to donate to the charity it was and obviously over the phone it's hard to tell if it's a male or female but she had to give me her credit card details and it was her birth name...which was male.

At the end of the call I said "thanks sir" and was mortified....it just happens.
