What's funny is that people have thought I was female because I talk about feminism, gay because I don't like homophobia, black because I talk about racism, and overweight because I don't dish out hate to fat people. It says something that - to most people - to care about something is very unlikely unless you personally are suffering. I find it very easy to be empathic which I think gets me flagged up as a female.
On a final note, my username is also kind of female sounding and comes from a poem written by a female to another female. I guess it's not the kind of thing a guy would identify with. I don't deliberately choose to display any female characteristics. I just have them and don't hide them.
IIN to always be able to tell if someone online is male or female?
