Okay, so maybe this is a stupid question, but I'll risk it.

Why is Skurn called "he" and I am called "she" even though we have the same gender symbol?

Is it an inside joke or something? Did one of us accidentally pick the wrong symbol? Did someone switch which gender symbol means what? Do I sound like an idiot yet? No? I'll keep trying.

Let me guess... It was such a stupid question that no one will bother answering.

You've given, like, 20 minutes.

Your symbol is the female symbol. Likely, Skurn chose the wrong one.

Okay, thanks.

But 20 minutes is plenty for me to decide I said something stupid.

My profile has been taken by others.

But as it turns out, I am not female either.

Never be afraid to ask, but don't demand an answer

I think it's interesting to hear why people choose their symbol. I think gender should not be important for almost anything I do online, so I prefer not to show it. How about others?

Did you choose the symbol that fits your actual gender?
If so, why did you choose to show it?
If not, why did you choose to show the other?
If you don't show a symbol, why not?

I just like to be vague. The less people can tell about me at a glance, the better. For the same reason I don't have my country flag on my profile, or my real name, even though those things aren't really secret.

well, you see, it all started in the victorian era. i had just finished watering my garden when an incredible miracle occurred - my tropical headhunter rafflessia had grown a pair of legs.

and that's how it all happened.

I literally only put mine up so people wouldn't be confused.

@Skurn
Sounds like it's a long, complicated story. (But I like long,complicated stories.)

@Zeddexx
Lol. I didn't mean to ask quite that explicitly.

Though what's in your pants doesn't equate gender identity.

Boom.

Yes, Bluedy. This discussion definitely went to dark and mysterious places which I had no desire to think about.
