Huh. So I recently read and discovered in a thread that Go You Big Red Fire Engine is female. I always thought she was a male. And I always thought that fishbicycle was female. Bzzt. I was wrong again. He surely has male parts.
TVeblen? I have no freaking idea. From “it’s” posts I always assumed and thought (or rather got the impression) that “it” was female, but they could be a male…No offense meant at the referal to it. I just don’t know what pronoun to use. :o
So many people figured my screen name must be Spanish, and so few have read Out of the Silent Planet, that I was obliged to stick a little something in the “Location” field.
Actually, I like not knowing.
It allows me to be more open to the poster. When I know that someone is male, female, old, young, of a certain race, or political persuasion, my own interpreting- bias shows up, with shyness in its wake.
Anastasaeon = Anastasia + ancient [star, according to my husband] suffix. I thought it was pretty feminine. However, since I’ve been mistaken for a male dozens of times, I suppose it’s not that obvious. And at 27, I’m not even that old.
Not that it matters tremendously… some days I feel more like defending my sex than others, for some strange, subconcious reason. Most days I feel androgynous, anyway.
Well, maybe not a Lady but I am female.
