I mean the type of stuff you talk about and how you talk about things. I can't cite what I am talking about (well other than your obvious interest in video games) because it is a culmination of my impression from every post of yours that I have read. I thought you were a tomboy at first but then you said some particularly telling things about transgenderism that got me thinking. It was this post http://atheistforums.org/thread-2147-pos...e#pid40066 when you were supposed to know that I knew you were a guy. I was going to PM you to make sure, but thought better of it because it doesn't really matter. You are Sae to me, a girl on the forums who has some brilliant insights about some things and an incredible ability to bring my face and palm into contact with alarming frequency!

Lol ^_^ I suppose you've met only a few 'girl gamers', Rhizo? What in particular did I say about transgenderism that particularly got you thinking? This forum could do with a emoticon

I mean no disrespect by mentioning your male tone, I am just pointing at what tipped me off. There is no way to prove that I have known for a little bit other than that one telling word inserted into our past for the express purpose of proving that. I knew it would come up at some point, just didn't think it would be this soon.

I didn't either... the first one I told took me a very long time to tell (think hours and hours of gauging their reaction to the knowledge) And the second one took me about half the time to do so... and then I gauged a small 'control group' (if you will).. and nobody was rude or violent about it.

So I have 1650+ posts... and if someone has a problem with me being fully honest: They can bite off both of their left ankles for all I care

I have a friend who was studying to become a psychologist and he told me about a study they did on chatrooms. I tried to find a source but couldn't find the right collection of words to google to yield positive results. The goal of the study was to find out exactly what characteristics you could discern from talks with a person over a chatroom and the only thing that reliably came through was gender. What is interesting is that most of what you post is girly, so it's not totally obvious, it was just enough, paired with your references to transgenderism, to tip me off. fnordThe radio in my fingernail helped too!fnord

Glad to hear it took the references to 'seep through'

I really am quite a bit of a 'girly girl'. What is interesting is that my parents (and the hate-groups at 'school') can't see me for who I am... I just can't fathom how some people can't see it.
