If English were a foreign language for you, you would be amazed at how easily genders can be confused. Many times I make an image of the person who wrote some post, and I imagine HIM, just to see some later post where "he" talks about "hubby", then I realize my mistake (though I keep confused for a while, looking for the possibility of a same-sex couple, then shake my head and start calling her Lady). Many times I hesitate to make any reference to his/her wife/husband cause I´m really unsure!
Fortunately my nickname is deeply Spanish and clearly male, and although it doesn't say anything about my preferences, at least nobody will talk to me about suckleing a baby !
Catspaw may be a neutral name, but after reading one post from him I don´t need to see his photo at bbc resources. It reminds me an old joke: How do you determine which is the male in a couple of parrots ?: hold them each one in each hand, then switch them once, then twice, then several times more.When one of them rises its head and tells you "what a f#&k are you doing, you d@*n s@@#er", then THAT´s the male.
Back to the subject, please correct me when I'm wrong about identities
