Subject: RE: Why does everyone assume I'm a man?
@Morwen: '@meself: "Morgan" can be either a male or a female name. The only one I've met was a girl.' Why are you telling me this? Perhaps your message is meant for someone else?

"he/she/it"???

It never occurred to me that Grishka would be other than male - after all, the name IS derived by the Russians from the Greek male name "Gregorios", as well as being a traditionally Scots male name, is it not? And does not one naturally think of Grishka Otrepeyev, the early-eighteenth century Pretender to the throne of Russia? I don't understand how there could be any confusion.
