And then I mean only on this forum. It's kinda anoying that almost everybody is calling me dude or guy wile I am a woman

and I guess more poeple will have experienced the problem.

b4d b0y · 08-13-2007, 07:12 AM

You are correct. The gender should be easily visible

Entwined · 08-13-2007, 08:21 AM

Other side of the coin...Why does it matter? Maybe some women prefer the fact that they can be anonymous on the forum considering some of the rubbish we still have to take from men. It's one of the few places where I hardly ever experience sexism, which is more than can be said about the real world - a sad and sorry situation for the year 2007! If people want to make personal info available about themselves surely they will? You all know me and Ramuh are female because we've chosen to let you know. We want people to use these forums, not feel they don't want too becasue they have to give out too much info about themselves.

It would be optional ofcourse, Entwined..

ShadowMidna · 08-18-2007, 09:16 PM

Having this option would be nice.

rsrikanth05 · 08-21-2007, 01:53 AM

An optional one would be better.

ShadowMidna · 08-21-2007, 12:47 PM

Actually, I get mistaken for being a male all the time, so I'd love to have that option.

**SawanM** · 08-21-2007, 12:58 PM

Put it in your signature possibly?

Gosh me to!! I have had it soooo many times.

Is there some news on this isseu?

**Romanus** · 08-25-2007, 05:14 PM

I can say with a high degree of certainty that it won't be happening anytime soon. If you are really that offended about being called a guy then make some refrence in your sig or something that shows that you are a female. People won't pay attention to a small little sign more than they do whats in your sig.

**Wild Cat** · 08-25-2007, 05:59 PM

I totally agree with Entwined

I personally wouldn't use that option which is funny because I have my photo up as my avatar... LOL

Your avatar and sig make it slightly obvious that you are a woman.

Than whynis it that I have been called Guy or man sssoooooo manyt times.

**Romanus** · 08-26-2007, 11:30 AM

Because the majority of people on forums, and the internet, are guys. If I am replying quickly I might not look at your avatar or sig. And for that matter neither points you out as a girl, many people sell sig space and a female avatar isn't exclusive to females.
