The user is not from America, I believe. This is a very common mistake. In some languages we don’t specify the gender in these kind of statements and translation websites make this very common error. 

It was joke.

I am not lying. I'm hispanic and even though I've been living here in the US for over 16 years, it still happens from time to time, but this in fact a common mistake for non-native speakers. In Spanish we say "Volvio a desactivar su Instagram", we don't normally use 'el' or 'ella', majority of translating websites automatically apply 'he' for some odd reason.

There are other countries besides the United States?

It is for people coming from countries in which genders don't exist in grammar, especially in Europe :cackling_cackle_lol_what_unbelievable_disbelief_glasses_meme: 

Just like the Americans when they're trying to speak French, Spanish or Italian and give the wrong gender to a common name, such as a table, or anything else :cackling_cackle_lol_what_unbelievable_disbelief_glasses_meme:

How many languages can you speak? :tiffcackle_Tiffany_miss_ny_New_York_pollard_laugh_giggle_lol_haha_hehe: 

Stupid comment :clown_meme__makeup_green:

I'm from Finland and we only have gender neutral pronoun hän for he/she. I have many times used the wrong pronoun when I'm speaking in English

I moved to the US 16 years ago and this sometimes still happens to me :britdrown_britney_tears_crying_drown_ink_black: it's normal for non-native speakers...Most people are understanding, but the few that have mocked me only speak English...so it's like come on...show me a little bit of grace :crying1_britney_sobbing_tears_2006_sad:

I’m from Finland, too, and can testify that many Finns struggle with male and female pronouns in various languages (since we have only one, gender-neutral word for the third person). It’s the same thing with people whose first language is Estonian (and I suspect the same applies to Hungarian which belong to the same language group as Finnish and Estonian).

Here comes the conspiracy theorists with “omg they locked her up” “Something shady is going on” “#whereisbritney” in 3,2,1
