I’m a girl. That might be obvious to some - like my husband, Weirddave, who is not a girl. ---

My name is gender neutral too but I don’t think I’ve ever been mistaken for a guy. I think “acrossthesea” has a feminine look to it somehow. I don’t know, it’s the name of a weezer song at any rate. Anyway, yep, I’m a girl. ---

Though my username is, at first glance, most ambiguous, it seems that nobody has yet gotten my sex wrong. Am I that obvious? (Male) ---

Wow, didn’t know female dopers outnumbered the men. But this post suggests that. Anyway, if you know a bit of mythology, then my gender is fairly obvious. ---

Dopers often assume I’m a man, but fortunately not those I’ve met in real life. I’m female. My last username confused people even more - QueenAl. ---

Female. I used to use a girly-kiddy honorific from Japanese, but since going to the (totally made-up) last name, it might be less obvious. ---

My name refers to my secondary gender characteristics. Given to me by my oh so appreciative husband(the name, not the secondary gender characteristics.) ---

**pencilpusher** , you’re aware that there is also a **PencilPusher** (or Pencil Pusher or so, at least with capitals) who I think is male? With respect to the OP, **NurseCarmen** is male. Furthermore **CrankyAsAnOldMan** is female. Two of them bunch who are trying to mess with our heads. Grrrr. I’m male, BTW, but that’s probably no surprise. ---

I think it’s obvious to all and sundry that I’m a man, except maybe when I’m sobbing like a little girl in a darkened theatre. That probably throws a few of 'em. ---
