Adding is not correcting. Nothing that you have said sounds wrong to me. Reinforcing should be interpreted as agreement, at least in my environment. And consider that,
- english is not my mother tongue
- I've never travelled to an english speaking country
- I have to struggle with a spanish autocorrect to write this 😃
Greetings from the not-so-privileged side of the world.
Adding reads as correcting: you are saying I didn't say enough/didn't say the right thing (and saying that without reading what I posted).
I don't think the issue here is L1/L2 so much as male privilege.
You are replying to an expert on the topic and not acknowledging that expertise.

Oh come on! Stop agreeing with her!

Tone is hard to pick up sometimes, and I don't want to mansplain mansplaining... but I'd just like to echo what these blokes said here:

@jlperuyero stop being a reply guy. If you don't want to be sad about people being prickly and asking you to interact differently, just apologise and stop. What after your first toot and maybe the clarification was really necessary? Certainly not telling her to change her profile. Just take a step back.
