Is it a reasonable expectation to check peoples profiles when commenting on their comments to ensure I am pronouning them correctly?

Looks like my account was banned/restricted for the above interaction, have already sent the mods on world an email asking if they'd be willing to reverse that. Had an episode of psychosis a few months ago where I did say some offensive stuff, (understandably) got a 3 month ban on .lol for that, so could see my account having been flagged.
I uh, I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect people to check others profiles to ensure we are correctly pronouning them… when making a throw away comment that is less than 10 words involving a ludicrously common saying. Jerboa does not show users pronouns. I could switch to an app that DOES show the pronouns, do any Lemmings have a recommendation for a free Lemmy mobile app that has that feature?
Edit: Edie chimed in, Jerboa does show pronouns. It's a formatting issue with mobile vs browser (She has them on individual text lines so they don't appear on mobile).
Was just going to respond to the user in question to let them know I wasn't purposefully trying to offend that individual, to discover I'm not able to post or make comments on world now, so figured I'd see what y'alls opinion on the matter is.
You're viewing a single thread.
You are supposed to do deep research on the person you're commenting to....
I barely even read usernames, plus Voyager App doesn't show profile bios, so even if I wanted to check their profile I can't and I'm sure as fuck not using the mobile website to get the information.
That's not an excuse nor justification for misgendering anyone, neutral pronouns exist, use them.
If you tell me I will use them, I'm not a mind reader, I'm a dumbass with an internet connection.
If you get upset by someone using non gender neutral pronouns in general speech I don't think you're old enough to be on the Internet, and if you are we need to raise the age of access.
