There are message boards with an option to give info on your gender.
That can be useful because some people tend to react a bit “hostile” whenever you can’t guess their gender correctly when you reply to their posts.
I was misled by the membername of Ilsa Lund and at first also for EddyTD (until I saw a picture with the horses… So also 3 cats ETD? We have more then one passion in common then).
For the rest I think that I’m guessing right in most cases.
Eddy, Teddy and Freddy are indeed male, although the vet has, shall we say, forestalled their love life. The current cat total in the ETF household is eight: five orange tiger males, three black females. Hey, I’m all set for Hallowe’en.
I am female, and plan to continue being female, and single. Although it’s true I’m often found hanging out with two handsome guys.
I’ve gotten so many wrong, I don’t know where to begin. I guess Gaudere was first. I thought Czarcasm (then Slythe) was a woman. I thought Tris was a female atheist. I don’t know, the list goes on and on. I bat about .100 on that for some reason.
I have a vague memory of someone here responding to me in a way that made it seem that they thought I was a male. I am not. An etymological study of my Member name, though difficult due to its obscurity, would make that apparent.
:eek: Color me astounded! I have been reading these forums for years, and always assumed chicque was female! Wow. (I also pronounce it “sheek”, but am not even sure about he actually pronounces it…)
Of course, I always thought Muffin was female, as well as thinking Broomstick was male.
However, it’s rare for me to automatically guess someone is a guy…my mind always turns everyone into females right off the bat, for some unknown reason. I always have little “Wow” moments whenever just about anybody reveals they’re not a woman.
chique is either pulling your leg or a transvestite, having met chique in person. She does, however, host the football themed Minnesota Dopefest - which immediately puts her feminity into question.
NurseCarmen does not even have the decency to pretend to be a woman when you meet him in person. BTW, I got that shock at a Dopelunch. This, ummmm, gentleman wearing a NurseCarmen nametag.
Chalk me up as another Ilsa and Carmen guy…although I learned their true genders some time ago…
ETF also came as a surprise…
The only doper whom I’m currently ambiguous about is Otto… I am leaning towards female for that one, but my memory could be mistaken…it does that from time to time…
Otto is a man. He doesn’t look at all like Bus Driver Otto, though. I’ve never met him, but I saw his photo once on some Doper page or another and had to rework my mental image!
