How odd. Why would this creature think you were a woman? (He's not.) Even if you were, what relevance would that have to anything?

The same thing's happened to me many times. For those of you who don't know me, I, unlike Auric, AM a woman. In my case, though, when the bottom-dwellers don't know what else to say, they "accuse" me of being a man. I thought the photo in Fortune woulda put the issue to rest for once and all, but it hasn't.

Is the same "logic" being applied in both cases? Is the idea that the person being attacked will be humiliated because the attacker claims he's not a "real man" or a "real woman"? Or is "Amigo Sergio" suggesting that Auric's a woman because he has contempt for women? I've long suspected that many of those who insist that I'm a guy do it because apparently I don't fit the female stereoptype in which they evidently believe. Or do they just feel more comfortable pretending they're dealing with their own invented character, rather than the real person?

Or are we just checking into Braindeath Central once again?
