Someone over at SB thought I was a girl and posted his email address.
I think that's the second or third time people have been unsure of my gender.
Has this ever happened to anyone else here?

Nope. I think I've always projected the fact that I'm a guy. (Hello, ladies...)

Nope, can't say it has happened. My last avatar was Steve Van Zandt from the Sopranos and the E-Street Band and before that it was Gozo Shioda from the Yoshinkan. Not too many people get that mixed up, maybe Pavel would?

Nope. I have had problems because my first name is Stephen, and some professors just see the Steph and assume it's Stephanie. Actually, it usually earns me some laughs, since I sing bass. Nothing like them calling out "Stephanie xxxxx" and getting a "Here" as low as I can get my voice

Nope, I think my name is pretty gender-neutral, so people usually ask before they jump to conclusions. Once I find myself a girlie-looking avatar, though, maybe they'll just stop asking.......? Dunno.

I need to find a good pic of Kazuo Chiba, though I've got a couple good ones of Morihei Ueshiba. Did you know about this site

Dark, what a neat site! Did you get this off of the Aikidofaq??? There seems to be alot of clips on kotegaeshi which is excellent as I haven't practiced that in a while. I need a good clip on hapogiri "8 directional cut with a bokken". Do you know of any more of these video sites?

Nope, given the two identities I use

Nope. My posts are usually so horribly immature that only a 20 year old guy would post them, though I do rein it in around here.

That's just freaky dude. That's the same way with me. The look on the poor profs face. in fact some of my old high school teachers did that as well.

I usually project my perverted personality enough to dissuade all doubts that I am male.

Actually, yes. Too many stupid sub teachers read "Patricia" instead of "Patrick." As well, my other logins (Lauden and Jairyn) have caused confusion.
I have no problem with this....
