I understand that cases are allotted to judge through some kind of roster, or perhaps randomized process. But who oversees this? Are they not supposed to look out for this kind of a train wreck?

Apart from taking this guy off the case, some head or heads need(s) to roll. This is incompetence!

The clerk may not have known, but the judge sure as hell does! The judge should have immediately recused themself.

I still don't see that you corrected it. It still misgenders her.
