If you feel really guilty, apologize. Nobody knows what other people think or why they do what they do. I don't know exactly why I do or say some of the things I do... in a conversation, these things just slip out sometimes. Maybe you remind him of someone who bullied him in his past. Maybe he tried gender-neutral language and got called on it sometime in his past... Me, I'd let it slide & just be nice.
