insomniasexx  ·  4127 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Girls and Boys Together: Gender on Hubski

    I for one assume all are male unless proven otherwise, and didn't realize insomniasexx was female at first.

Now I don't feel as bad about not realizing you were female until...this morning. Honestly, it's not that I thought you were male, I just didn't think about it at all.

During some posts I will visually imagine the person behind the computer screen similar to how one would envision characters in novels. But this only happens if the person is telling a story, if they are just talking about something they just sort of a gray blob or their gender doesn't even cross my mind.

I wish I had read your brother/bar story before I knew you were female because it would be interesting if I would've seen it. I related to that story a lot - I have a little brother who has always played sports and been popular and has a douchey jock attitude sometimes. I might have thrust myself and my gender onto you because I relate to it so much. I'm not sure.
