> [@Mockingbird](#): > > Many have mistakenly thought me to be female. Well, since **GazelleFromHell** changed her name to **Gazelle,** and **Yosemitebabe** changed to **Yosemite** (theyā€™re both female, btw), many people, myself included, assumed you used to be **TequilaMockingbird,** who was very, very female. And likely still is, but I havenā€™t seen her posting since I got back, which is why I assumed you were the contracted version of her. My bad. Me, Iā€™m a sword. ---

Well, my apologies to \*\*clairobscur \*\* and \*\*NurseCarmen \*\* for the cybermental emasculation. And apologies to the rest I mentioned for adding stuff where it didnā€™t belong. Now switch body parts and all will be OK. šŸ™‚ ---

Well, in fairness, [Eddy, Teddy and Freddy](http://community.webshots.com/photo/782975/784355) are indeed male. Though, come to think of it, theyā€™ve been neutered. And I do have [two male horses](http://community.webshots.com/photo/735286/128041607qXSSvk), who are, as you might suspect, hung like a horse. But theyā€™re both geldings. Hmmmmā€¦ whatā€™s that about emasculation you were saying? :dubious: ---

I get referred to as female some. Quite a few go out of their way to avoid using pronouns in reference to me, though. ā€œIā€™m a boy, Iā€™m a boy, but my ma wonā€™t admit it, Iā€™m a boy, Iā€™m a boy, Iā€™m a boy.ā€ ---
