It would have bothered me to the same degree, I don’t know about you. I haven’t seen anyone on Lemmy using ‘he’ as a ‘gender neutral’ pronoun yet, but I assure you I would correct it just as I regularly do in real life.
In some languages (i.e., italian and spanish), “person” is a feminine word (the word itself has ha gender, grammatically). Maybe OP isn’t a native english speaker and they’re just translating literally their thought, implying “someone” as “a person”.
You saved one life twice. But is there any significance to this being ‘her’ rather than ‘they’? Did you have a specific person in mind?
If it was ‘he’ nobody would have questioned it, which kinds gives me pause for thought.

I try to notice it but often fail.
