Oonj is indeed a woman. When 6SJ referred to me as a male, I kinda flubbed off
clarifying, eventho I know most olde-timers in here know I'm a woman.
I sort of took it as a compliment, too: maybe 6SJ thinks I'm clear & rational. OK!
  I grew up in an era ('40's-50's) when Men were mostly assumed to be more
rational & capable than Women. And I do mean, the movies brainwashed us with
that stick. Society went along with it almost without question as it had done for
centuries.

My bad O. I was pretty sure I flubbed it a few days or so ago when somebody else referred to you as "Her", but I didn't say anything then.

I do think you're clear and rational, for sure. Even when we don't agree on things you're always cool as a cucumber, just like I imagine Morgan Freeman has been most of his life. I've said before that you do the avatar justice.

I've been around here a LONG time, but you know about my state the last few years. I don't remember us having any interactions back when I was "well". I honestly didn't know you were a woman until you confirmed it just now. I don't think I attribute that to my take on you though. You have a male avitar, the name means nothing to me so without ever having looked it up it's gender-neutral to me, and you don't ever post anything I've noticed that would give a clue one way or the other.

Maybe G is a woman too, and even T. There are woman fox hunters, and some girls like swords (I think that's what T's avatar is, at least). I find both of them to be quite irrational most of the time, but I've never attributed that to them being female. I've always assumed they were male.

I thought Signey was a male back in the day (because of her avatar) until we had some conversations. I assume Riverlove is a male even with River's picture as an avatar, simply because of things that "he" has said about good looking actresses. "He" could be a woman that is into girls though, so maybe I'm wrong about that.

Long story short, I think we all make mistakes about this from time to time for a lot of reasons. I'm willing to bet that a majority of those mistakes though are based on the obvious appearances, and not some intentional insulting as G was saying that Signy was making about Second the other day. Until yesterday I thought Second was a woman myself.

I wanted Summer Glau to appear in Avatar 2 as Sigourney Weaver's daughter. It could happen. That is why I got the avatar I got.

The Joss Whedon script for Serenity, where Wash lives, is Serenity-190pages.pdf at www.mediafire.com/folder/1uwh75oa407q8/Firefly

If you think my avatar is a sword then you aren't sober. At the very least it shows you still aren't able to focus yet.
