Seriously. I mean, that's definitely actually her in her avatar, right? And she's OBVIOUSLY a girl in it. [/sarcasm]

Uffish just clearly takes the crown on keeping her gender ambiguous.

Hehe.

I hadn't even revealed it when I first met Katya at a Board party. She and Melyngoch were there and trying to guess who I was, and they'd narrowed it down to Uffish or Leibniz, and I remember being a little sad because they'd figured it out and knew for sure that Uffish was a female nym.

:lol: I forgot about that! And we made you stand up because somehow we knew that Leibniz was really tall.

Pretty sure I know why :)


Well, that was an interesting conversation I missed. Yes, I'm female. Though, I'm surprised I was able to pass for a male. I'm curious how you concluded that, Uffish.

It was more that I have a hard time keeping track of 'nyms for people I don't know very well personally, so I haven't been keeping mental track of gender clues. And Tally reminded me of the band Tally Hall, which is largely if not entirely male, I think. I knew that didn't mean anything, and I could be wrong, but I was too lazy to go back and try to figure it out from past posts, too tired of "werf," and I figured I had about a 50/50 chance to get it right. Now I know better.

That's better than me. I assume every new member is a girl until proven otherwise.
The Epistler was quite honestly knocked on her ethereal behind by the sheer logic of this.

I thought so, but then started second-guessing myself because of this thread! Glad to know I was right all along. :)

Haha! Maybe I should change my icon. My sister always says that I'm like Hammy from Over the Hedge. Hammy's also a boy, but at least it's a squirrel this time :-) Suggestions welcome!
