Maybe for some people? Most of my buddies are of the opposite gender, and me hanging out with one of them doesn’t imply anything different to me hanging out with someone of my own gender.

There are definitely people it matters to, I sometimes get tired of the usual remarks and end up awkwardly using "they" or phrasing tricks to try to avoid them

I mean hanging out 1 on 1 with someone of the opposite sex is how like 99.999% of new humans get created.

Well sure, but equally 99% of hanging out with the opposite sex doesn't result in new humans being created.
