I’m going to use my fabulous gendar, and say “female.”

And I’m going to assert that when people guess at a poster’s gender, or assume a poster’s gender, the default guess or assumption seems to be male. Anyone have a different experience?

Diamonds02? You’re a chick, with a big dictionary and a bad attitude, smeared on lipstick and a black cashmere pullover… waitin’ for your big break.

It took a lot of research, you don’t post much that would identify your sex. But this one is pretty clear [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=349174](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=349174)

Woo hoo! Logic wins again! (Of course, once you make the diamonds-BFF connection, it’s pretty obvious.)

I totally forgot about that thread.

Yes, Diamonds02 is a she. 🙂 But, I remember being referred to as a “he” several times. This happens on other boards too. I’m kind of curious why a lot of people online think that I’m a guy.

BTW, everyone is way off about the significance of my username. 😃 Now, that I will keep secret, because that may reveal some things that I don’t want to, yet.

It would be necessary to bump this thread, since there’s some confusion.

I am a she. 🙂

Nah. Everyone knows that everyone on the internet is is either male or a male pretending to be a female.

Thanks for clarifying this.

Now that you have, I’m going to put a stake through this zombie’s heart.
