So referring to someone by anything other than the self-appointed pronouns they demand to be called like they're royal titles is a horrible sin you must immediately self-flagellate over to redeem yourself, but blaspheming the god of the most widely practiced religion ("Maker's panties!") in this setting is something anyone can do without consequence.
EDIT
Just to add even more nonsense and hypocrisy here...the Maker is explicitly referred to as male. So to insinuate that He wears panties is either insulting Him for His own gender, or misgendering Him by implying He's a woman.
This reminds me of something I read on the blog A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry, which was the simple observation that medieval people believed their religions, whereas George Martin writes a world that has the trappings of being medieval, but lets the villains perform un-medieval blasphemies without being brought to heel by the vengeful pious. Calling an all-father deity a transvestite should be highly offensive to all around at best, if not cause to step backwards out of the splash zone.
