Tbh, these are attitudes and sentiments that women and poc have to deal with every day in all career paths. Applying some strategies that these populations use to your situation may be worth looking into.
Yes as others have suggested you can office hop until you find a good office but the thing that stood out to me the most in your post is all the accomplishments you've made but you don't consider yourself a senior. 🤔
It is true that there's always a chance that some troll will disrespect you regardless of your obvious talents, but in my book YOU YOURSELF also need to embrace your obvious talents. Why aren't you a senior? If you don't SEE yourself as a respectable figure and take yourself more seriously, carry yourself as someone who knows their own self worth, why would other people respect that?
Respect isn't something that any one person is owed because they did something that they think is great. It's something that a person earns and doing great work isn't good enough of an entry to earn it these days. Doing good work is the minimum possible requirement. You have to meet these trolls head on and make them respect you. Sometimes it's as simple as having a conversation with them about how rude and disrespectful you feel they are, and other times you outright have to put these people in their place and outsmart them.
For some reason everyone thinks they are entitled to respect, but sorry, that's not the case. You gotta go out there and get it, take it, exude it. It also helps if you truly respect your coworkers too, but again, that's just a small part of the puzzle.
Feel free to office jump and run away from the problem if it's just too big of a hurdle at your current office, but know that there's always a possibility that after you find the perfect office a new person will come along and muck up that great environment you found. You'll still need to figure out how to respect yourself at the highest level and to earn and/or take respect from others where it's due.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
