I often play female characters and occasionally have the same experienced.
Recently i started a new game, someone helped me with something that I thought would take like two minutes, but it went on and on and he was friendly and helped me further.
When we were finished after at least an hour, he said something which made it obvious he thought that I was a woman.
I corrected him and he said “oh, lol” and immedeatly left the group. So fucking weird.
It’s also funny to me because i never even look at usernames, neither in games or reddit, lemmy, etc. don’t know why, but I just skip over it. So I don’t even come to think who the person might be.
Only when I’m in a group and have adress someone specifically I read what the names are.

The only time I look at usernames is when someone says “thanks for the advice cumspanker3000” or something like that
