Girl. I don’t think I’ve ever been mistaken for a guy here. At least, not that anyone has told me ---

I am a cissexual, genderqueer male and I prefer the pronoun “he.” ---

> [@Autolycus](#): > > The curtains match the drapes? > > Ah, I said I’d shut up! I’m such a liar…(pics plz). Check out **Arnold** ’s site, though the pic likely isn’t the one you’re looking for. 😃 What with the red hair and rosy complexion and all, some of the guys that used to hang out with me tagged me Red long ago. A number of years back, the folks that I worked with had the impression that I was a meek, mild mannered, conservative, as one put it, “school teacherish” woman. One morning, my car was in the shop and the truck wouldn’t start, so my good friend and neighbor (who looked like a refugee from ZZTop) gave me a lift to work on his old shovel head Harley (named Mabel for his mama). When I got off and removed my helmet, one of my co-workers made the comment “Boy, have I misread you!”. Being that I was just getting started online, I adopted missred in a slightly varied form as one of my handles and have used it in some form since. ---

When I first joined, a couple of posters referred to me as “him” or with other masculine pronouns. But I’ve been around long enough now that most of you know I’m a girl-type person! ---

> [@Covered\_In\_Bees](#): > > I am still a male that wanted to link to the five other recent threads on if people here are male or female since we got the new poll feature, but was too lazy. Yeah, but this one doesn’t have a poll! (hint, hint) I’m male. Though I really don’t care which pronoun you use as long as it’s not confusing.
