Howaminotmyself comes off as very Canadian (which I guess she almost is, geographically). I thought Wigsplitz was an Aussie too. I wonder what made us both think that.
I got the gender-confusion thing too. So many people thought I was female because I have a sensitive side, and I'm kind of nurturing. I just want people to be happy. Plus I stand up for women's rights and read a lot of feminist books and literature (mainly because it's interesting to me to see the other side of things). There's an innate selfishness in people and they project it onto others. I think it's difficult to understand why a man would do something that doesn't directly benefit himself; so the assumption is that I'm female. This is also the reason I love women so much. As a gender, you generally care.
I'm flattered when people think I'm older or younger because I try so hard to be balanced and see things in a fair way (neither male nor female, old or young, English or other, white or other). I don't ever give my name or my age here, but - as a one-off thing - you, me, howaminotmyself, randomjelly and wigsplitz are all the same kind of age group.
P.S. Every time you say you are blonde, it surprises me. I think this is the third time now. I have no idea why my mind keeps imagining you as a brunette. I think I imagine everyone is a brunette. Maybe I'm a hair-racist!
