The ol' pronoun glitch

Went to a friend's birthday party last night. Then to dinner after the party. All lovely.
Except that at some point during the dinner, someone called me "he." Corrected herself, but didn't exactly apologise.
This little slip-up happens virtually every time I am out with friends from Colby College, where I have worked for 20 years now. I know full well that most of these slip-ups are unconscious, and not intended as hurtful.
