Why do some people seem to think I'm female? What about my anti-religious philosophy would indicate this?

Question

For the record -- I'm male.

The Pope: I've heard it from others. I can't scan all questions, much as I try. Even if I could, I don't usually look for messages about me, my ego may be too big for my britches but it's not *THAT* big. ;)

SNAKE HEAD: Yes, I am gay. Very much so.

Jim: You're not the only place i've heard it from, but you're the first one that for some reason it seemed worth inquiring about.

Deadman: Well if Y!A was 18+ only, I could use the whole picture. Then it would be BLATENTLY obvious. Pity.

*halo*

Answer 1

J.P., I can't imagine why anyone would be confused about that. FWIW, you positively ooze masculinity.

Edit: Anti-religious philosophy? Perhaps rather your anti-traditional religiosity? Ever read any "religious naturalism," like H.N. Wieman, or Jerome Stone, or Ursula Goodenough?

Answer 2

This question is prompted by me cause I sent an insant message, someone referenced JP a few days ago as a female, and I was thinking the whole time ive been here hes been a male and figured heh someone knew "her" better than I did.

So yeah whoever it was Im still digging through my answers looking for it but whoever that person was I hope they see this and explain.

Answer 3

Noted.

Answer 4

I never thought that...... I think it is silly to assume to much on the identity of people online.

if you are Gay that's great 2..... Just don't got to Saudi Arabia

Answer 5

Hey J.P. for the record, I knew you were a male.

Maybe it is your Avatar that is making them think you are a female.

Answer 6

How do you know that? What makes people put you in the female category? What things do you ask?

Answer 7

It's okay. Most people seem to think I'm stupid because of my religious philosophy.
People love to classify and stereotype. We do it to everyone, all the time, without even realizing it.

Answer 8

For the record, it's beem pretty obvious to me you are male.

Answer 9

Perhaps you should change your screen name or your Avatar to clearly indicate you are male.

Answer 10

I've never thought you were a female.
