I showed my mom some fanart I drew of various SSSS characters and she thought they were all girls

My phone screen has a fanart of Tuuri, Lalli and Emil. My mom asked me who were those "odd looking boys".

I went to an SSSS meetup and everyone there -- including the ones I thought were boys -- were all girls.
People have commented on the ratio before. I wonder why that is?
... Texas ... is a mystique closely approximating a religion. And this is true to the extent that people either passionately love Texas or passionately hate it....

I guess Mikkel wasn't on that list then?

Without sideburns, I think Mikkel could pull off being a burly lady ::)

I'm pretty sure I used to think you were female... The Sigrun avatar, maybe?

"respectable, mild-mannered exterior" would imply i'm not flailing around awkwardly. which is what i actually do
......and tell you guys about it afterwards

See, I knew there was something we could use, now all we have to do is let Haiz know that we know, and then demand that they...

... Wait.

I've given up at trying to figure out what genders people are. I'm always wrong about it anyway :P

my gender is lalli hotakainen
.......... what do you mean that doesn't make any sense

I don't know what you're talking about. That makes perfect sense.

That and the fact that in addition to meaning easygoing friendship, my handle is also sometimes a girl's name.

But then, "Moon Unit" is also sometimes a girl's name.  At least for certain girls.

I originally wanted to rotate between avatars.  I have a whole bunch of "what would X do?" clip art, but it turns out that's not the way the site works -- when you change your picture in one place it changes it everywhere, even on old posts.  Sad.

Haiz, I'm still not completely convinced that you aren't actually an entire anarchist movement.

Yeahhhhhhhhhh, me too. Or I have a duh-of-course-I-knew-that moment after they tell me. :P
I have been mistaken for a male person a few times, but not quite so much on here (since my avatar is both probably-female and not a screencap).
I'll do art-swaps and beta-reads, PM me!

Noodly, the very first comment exchange with you I somehow had cemented in my mind that you were male.

When I saw your sketch of yourself, I thought, "Oh, he has long hair... probably some kind of computer person."

It's almost as if the habitual use of binary gender pronouns fosters a dependence on the constraints of presumptive gender assignment as a necessary precondition to social contact.

Almost!

I quit guessing a long ago, besides it doesn't even really matter. The people behind the nicks won't change this way or that no matter which gender they are. For me, I'm usually easily (and accurately) read as female but I did have one strange occasion of a person mistaking me for a crossdressing male while cosplaying Belarus of Hetalia...

It could happen on a forum near you!

"Oh, he has long hair... probably some kind of computer person."

This is so accurate. I mean, I thought the same about so many people, I can't get rid of it.
