Thing to consider is, this takes place in the 80's. A character like Rayon would have likely been considered by others to simply be a drag queen rather than a transperson (especially since IIRC gender reassignment surgeries/hormone treatments weren't widely known about/available at that time and alot of shrinks would have just gone with the 'oh you are just gay' route) and Rayon might have been afraid to correct the pronoun usage for fear of being on the recieving end of a much more violent reaction from some (especially since this is set in Texas).

especially since IIRC gender reassignment surgeries/hormone treatments weren't widely known about/available [in the 80s]

While trans folks wouldn't be treated the same way as today, and SRS was not easy to get, it was known - Renee Richards was used as offhand references on television, for instance...not as obscure trivia, or even simply as an athlete, but as a well-known transwoman.
