Using fangirl on someone of unspecified gender is clearly gendering the behavior attempted to be called out. One could just as easily call someone a sycophant without resorting to needlessly gendered terms.

While I agree that in an ideal world we wouldn’t feel the need to use gendered terms (in english I should say, lest we pull an imperialism on gendered languages), the use of a gendered term really isn’t in of itself misogyny.
