I get this on the Internet.
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'm just not very feminine, I suppose. :-p

Not that I'm aware of. I'm pretty sure I've been female my whole life. :-p

Hmm, it's not the first time someone has had this complaint...lemme see if I can find it...

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

well, the bouncing while you were jumping gave it away
 
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.
