    Confusion
In summary, the person is female and not very feminine. They are referred to as a he a lot and it seems that this is not the first time this has been brought up. They mention that it could be an option to put a sign behind the user's name indicating their gender, and that there may be few female escape artists out there.

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. :tongue:

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.
