All the time.

I AM NOT A MAN. I AM FEMALE. ME. *points and jumps up and down*

I get referred to as a he a lot, it seems. So just so you know, I'm female. Very, definitely female.

I wonder if it could be an option to put one of those signs (female/male) behind the id name, maybe smaller in a different color----because 'it' isn't a good generic pronoun

Didn't you know? There is only two types of users on the internet, men and men trying to pass them self off as not men.

No girls on the internets, sorry.

And how many female escape artists are there anyway? I doubt many people know of any.
