Have you been mistaken for the opposite gender on the forums/IRL?

No since online I normally have it stated. In person once when I was a kid another kid thought I was a boy lol. Other than that time no.

Even after I decided to change my profile gender to "Male" to avoid confusion with my female avatars misgendering still happens sometimes!

it happens online a lot, but i don't think anyone has tried to gender me here yet :3 

never happens irl though ^~^

Noap. I think it’s pretty clear I’m male .

It’s on my profile for one  .

Looks like my last post in here was from years ago, so gonna update. 

 

I normally don't ever get misgendered, here or irl. HOWEVER, sometimes on Discord I'll be mistaken for a guy because of how I talk though.

As a fast starship flyer, it's not happened to this guy

I have never been mislabeled as a girl

Never once in my life.

People have assumed I'm male online, even though my profile says "Mare" and has very girly colors  If people still get confused, I'd be surprised since I have "female" or "she/her/hers" on my profiles.

I have only been mistaken as male IRL if people only have my name to go by, since I have a male name. I guess that's understandable. There's also been the case of people being too afraid to guess so they just use "they/them", which I honestly prefer over "he/him"!

It took me an embarrassingly long time to remember you're male!  So sorry!
