I think a lot of males on the internet have become very paranoid because of bad experiences they've had with other guys pretending to be girls so they tend to be very cautious. I also frequent a certain gamin forum and I'm always met with much skepticism when I let anyone know I'm female.
I don't like being addressed as a male. I prefer the proper pronouns (i.e. "she" or "her"). It does get a little tiresome at times trying to cut through all of the disbelief and paranoia. I understand where it stems from but it is annoying as all hell constantly trying to prove our gender to jaded males.
Just be yourself and if someone insists that you are a male and continues using male pronouns to address you (which I personally find very disrespectful), put them on ignore and move on.
I don't know, I think it has more to do with stereotypes and rumours than actual bad experiences. Men pretending to be women online would be at least as likely to target women as men, if not more so, yet you don't get that kind of skepticism from women.
"Men pretending to be women online would be at least as likely to target women as men"
Men pretending to be women to target women... does not compute... does not make sense...
How doesn't that make sense? I've come across men pretending to be bisexual or lesbian women looking for bisexual and lesbian women, as well as men pretending to be women in eating disorder communities and other mostly female online communities to try to get pictures from women there. There are also some men who fetishise disability who will pretend to be disabled women to get close to disabled women. It's creepy as fuck, honestly.
IIN that so many people on this site don't believe i'm a female?

Yes.Everything you said..just..yes.
