What, multiple choice? Can’t I do it as an essay question? 🙂

Female, though I don’t think anyone’s been mistaken about that on this board so far.

[Tris](http://www.alwaysbackup.com/~michaelk/images/Triskadecamus.jpg) is a fat old white guy, kinda like Santa Claus.

Me is girl.

Kinda obvious from the name.

This was, at one time, rather confusing for me.

After all, [Thorstein Veblen](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e9/Veblen3a.jpg) was a man, and by some accounts a rather dishevelled and unwashed one at times.

Don’t worry, he’s been ignoring me for months too.

Don’t let the **a** at the end, or the suffix **gupta** fool you. I’m neither female, nor of Indian descent.

Oddly enough, after I had randomly picked my name from a book I had on the desk, I later met, wooed and proposed to a female of Indian descent. Go figure.

So, to recap: Male.

I’m female, but I’m named after a man. “Logan” is usually a guy’s name, so there might be some confusion.

I am a woman. I think the “lou” confuses people sometimes.

( **malacandra** , I loved those books. Very trippy.)
