> [@a35362](#): > > Female here. Damnnnnnnnn That is the biggest shocker of all to me. I’m serious. I’ve seen you host the CDP every year and just…ALWAYS thought you were a guy. Not that a girl couldn’t do all that work and have that much dedication,…I just always assumed you were male. I’ve read a LOT of posts by you and follow your famous yearly thread…well, every year, and all year. And talk about a mindblow. You’ve been female all this time? Wow. Sorry, I guess I’m easily shocked. And yeah, I thought **twickster** was a dude too all this time. 😕 ---

Girl checking in. I have a pretty neutral handle, but in other places I sometimes have to change it into kiwimanx, whcih is often read, or so I’m told, as kiwi-man- x. ---

Female. But you gotta buy me dinner first. 😉 Personally, I don’t think it matters very much (except in the period threads/itchy balls threads). One of the things I like about the internet is that it’s just brain to brain communication, with no pre-conceived notions, nothing to respond to except what the other person wrote. Black, white, Asian, hearing-impaired, speech impediments, birth defects, disfiguring warts, weird birthmarks, conjoined twins syndrome, all the things that might affect face-to-face communication are left by the wayside. Brain on brain. Coolness. ---

> [@Daithi Lacha](#): > > I can understand that; my wife used to babysit for a little girl named Saoirse, way back when. Means “Freedom,” right? It does?.. Aw dammit. That’s not what I wanted at all. Here it is. I’ll have to change my username to Ag fein trauillathóir. Actually, I had been hoping that baby-naming was limited to Roddy Doyle books. Oh, well. ---

My handle might be androgynous, but I’m not. I’m stubborn and tenacious, but definitely female. Which means, gentlemen, in America, if you play your cards right, **Siege** lays you! 😉 CJ ---
