Welcome. I'll ignore your first two paragraphs in the interest of keeping your intro thread pleasant.
As far as people assuming you're male, I'm afraid that's stereotyping, and if I've been guilty of that particular faux pas, I apologize. I think we expect a woman to have a little more savvy when it comes to social dynamics.
Congratulations on your accomplishments.
Sounds like you've been engaging in interesting research, though I consider some of that stuff to be woo. What you consider contradictions to known science, I consider new information that advances science.
I'm agnostic as well, I've just realized that in addition to not believing it's possible to know if certain versions of God may exist, I don't believe they do. But, I could be wrong about that. If I am, I would love to find out.
Thanks for accepting our understanding of the label applied to us. I was beginning to wonder. Some of the hostility you've been getting isn't really your fault, but the fault of many, many visitors before you who were trolls and insisted to the bitter end that we are all sure there couldn't possibly be any God. Over the years, the amount of slack given newcomers who sound like that has decreased.
And I'll ignore your last paragraph too, and imagine what you might have written had you introduced yourself without so much prompting being necessary.

I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
