I can’t imagine a guy picking “Elfkin” as a screen name, but I’ve been called “he” on a number of occasions, so it must not be as girlie as it seems to me…
I suppose anyone could be upside down regardless of their gender, but in my case, gravity might make what would normally be my top half uncomfortable instead of what would normally be my bottom half.
A lot of people assume I am male from my username. I suppose it is a bit manly. Not a lot of girl warriors out there. I took it from a T. Rex album, and Mr. Marc Bolan is also a dude, so I can see how this might contribute to people wrongly placing my gender.
I guess it depends on what comes to mind when you imagine a kinky nippon tourist. I’m guessing male. But I’m not kinky (mores the pity), nipponese nor a tourist, so it makes perfect sense that I’m female.
I don’t think anyone has ever specifically thought I was woman. But I do recall one poster who said only women would use the word little in their username.
It is. I mean, I think it is - the novel (*Tigana *by Guy Gavriel Kay; an excellent book, incidentally) is Italian-themed fantasy, so it makes sense that it would be a variation on an Italian name.
