Default Your Gender?

Since user names don't always tell whether you are male or female, lets have a poll!

Since you don't have "super stud" as a choice, I went for "male."

Shamou, you're so funny!

Brutha, I always thought you were a woman! I guess you didn't participate in the post your picture thread.

I'm up!

And contrary to the popular belief, I am, in fact, male.

edit: what's "undecided"?

I wonder, are there any transgendered here too?

Yes, there could be some. Just to be politically correct I have given those transgendered people also an option.

I think it's because many women's names end in an 'a', nothing you've done wrong.

You ARE a super stud, Shamou!



Sweet Jesus, I have a crush on you!

Anyway, BIG surprise, I'm a woman, more identified with my feminine side as I age.

That brusque French Canadian nature was part of the charm!

I never had any doubts about that! Strange popular belief

I'm female, although I sometimes think that's some incarnation bug

I am a female, and I do not think I would love to be any other way at all!

It's nice to see so many women on this personal development forum. I've yet to meet one woman in real life who is into personal development.

Teach one and she'll think that you're the greatest thing to come along since the padded bra was introduced...

Are you saying you are one, or are you correcting someone's spelling?

I am one, I mean. I was going for the reference to the song lyric "I'm a woman, w-o-m-a-n".

Guess it would have been easier to get that if I'd written the whole thing out.

Ahhhh. As a result of your previous post, I re-read my post before yours multiple time to make sure my spelling was indeed correct

Haha. Sorry for the confusion. I would like to think I would have been a little more tactful than that if I was actually trying to correct someone's spelling, but who knows?!

Chalk one up for the male column. No surprise there, really.

Brutha and Erki, I always assumed you were both guys FWIW.
