And then there are the (relatively - Jamie is more readily associated
with men than women, and women of that name usually have it spelled
differently) gender neutral names like mine. There must be a few here who
have wondered on occasion whether I'm male or female, but I don't really
go in for the "by the way, I'm a [boy|girl]" comments. Usually in
discussions where my gender might be relevant as an insight to my opinions
I tend to leave little clues here and there anyway.
