If somebody corrects you about gender, just say woops, correct yourself, and move on. It's an honest mistake, a simple fix, and nobody should be offended. Especially online. If they are still offended, it's because they want to be.
I think the issue here is that it wasn't a case of "somebody corrects you about their gender". It was "a third unrelated person comes in and rudely yells at you that you should have already known not to use a turn of phrase".
The user's pronouns were in her username, OP's client just doesn't display additional lines.
Especially since in this case it was not even the person that was misgendered that called it out. Maybe the original person doesn't even care.
