There has been one occasion when I had assumed a researchers gender (from not just name but conversations etc) and found out I was wrong when we met.

Would I be right in thinking that h2 has a bigger proportion of female members than most other general interest sites? (Discounting sites that are aimed specifically at women).

Ashley Posted Jul 12, 2002
Many people often mistake my gender as Ashley can be a boy's or a girl's name. Because of this, I endeavour not to make the same assumptions... but I am only human.

Hello Everyone
In answer to earlier speculation viz-a-viz Pinniped's gender, he was male last time anyone bothered to look.

Well, with a completely neutral name like 'Online Again' you have a 50% chance of being wrong (or right).
I got a number of wrong guesses, even with the hint in my Keepers description. But since I've got my picture on my personal space, you need a braille keybord to get it wrong

and I like having a neutral name... makes it easier in case I one weird day should decide to change gender.

You may be right.
Only when you change your nickname you create lots of confusion.

Tefkat Posted Jul 13, 2002
Well, Online_again, the fact that you like Lego would imply that you're male, but on t'other hand my daughter loved it and I'm always assuming people are male and finding they're female after all - so you're probably female.
Anyone who doesn't know care to hazard a guess at the gender of a tefkat?
