I have to confess there are a handful of persons here whose gender eludes me, I can't figure them out at all. I mean, we all know Randy D is a guy in a dress and this, potentially, influences his relentless question generating. But other than that I don't know if I care that much if I can say 'Aha! you're a woman. Look at your question!!' ... or not.
There's one person here who I thought was a woman until he actually mentioned being a he in one of his posts.
I won't mention his username but he makes a lot of posts. I thought he was a she for my first two months on AM lol. That could be an embarrassing situation waiting to happen.
That's a really interesting question, in this very quickly evolving world where women are establishing themselves in a male dominated society & males are starting to show their feminine side, I suppose our thinking is becoming more aligned, hence adding to this dilemma. As for me, I'm recognized within the Aussie gay community as a tom, dieseldyke, genderqueer, only to name a few, I'm often being accused of sounding very "blokie" So in answer to your question, I'd find it very difficult to establish weather it's a male or female I'm chatting too. One may have inklings or opinions, but that necessary mean their correct, so that leads me to my question "who's posting this"?
I may not ride a Harley, but prior to starting uni I used to drive a very large tractor, towing a 26 cubic metre, 23 tonne payload spreading machine at a turf farm near home. I also periodically get the task of reversing my girlfriends fathers boat down his driveway & into his backyard, because he can't. Does that make me a man, or just a girl that ain't scared?
Re lesbian rules, it would be a pleasant change if my gay friends called me the above names, as it would be an improvement on what they me now.
