I am a girl and i dress and look and talk like a girl and I thought I wrote like a girl, but people keep thinking I'm a boy! I've emailed two moderators my picture because my computer won't upload it, but untill they respond, I don't think I can do it myself!

LIZ that's a girl's name!

To steal a quote out of Lock Stock, chill Winston.

People always get confused with one anothers actual gender in here so you're not alone. Just take it with a smile and let it roll off your back. When you become more known people will know you're Liz and not Lou.

nice to see another Elizabeth as well.

Consider yourself added to the hitlist.

And I am one of those that assumed you were of the male persuasion.  Please accept my apologies.  I had not seen, anywhere, the name of "Liz" by which to address myself appropriately...

but what I WILL do is go in and fix my poem regarding your challenge

That will be my first step to correcting the problem!

I understand, but hey, no one likes being charged as the opposite sex, do they? Well Long John only thought I was a boy because I wasn't fooled by Toerag like all of the others. Well, now you know, and Sunshine, of corse I forgive you!

Larry....Hope you're not saying that wind is a masculine name, I thin it could pass as a normal girl or to quote Connel "A realy fruity boy"

ROTFL, Wind, I knew you were a teenaged girl, and I might add, quite a wonderful poet with a great sense of humor...so relax, I am also a female, and more than once had someone write "good poem, sir!" to a poem. Not recently though, as I've been hanging out in here long enough now that most know I'm just an old gal who likes poetry.

Hey...I wrote a poem to all the ladies once and listed dozens by name. One of the names I listed was Sy. Oops! You're not the first to be mistaken and not the last. Be thankful a picture would clear that up. For some that wouldn't help. But just in case it happens again you might want this tool:

Hey Liz - I know you're a girl - and you're a very pretty one at that - I got your email with your picture - I fixed it so that you can upload it, and sent it back to you.  Did you not receive it?  If you have any problem uploading, let me know and we'll see what we can do for you...

Here it is again - but you have to do the upload..

I'm not exactly "serene" either.

note to Andrew, I happen to have a flair with cosmetics--I've seen your pics---hmmm...you've got great bone structure...We pluck those eye brows, and a light line to bring out your lips...I think you could even keep your hair short, with no wig...we may have to shave your legs...haven't seen those...and I think with your coloring you should dress in emerald tones...hmmm...

I think I'm envious...you have more potential than I do!

And wind? That picture is too cute with this post! and funny, I always thought of the wind as feminine too--but I would take it as a compliment--but my taste in poetry (as well as other things) tends to go toward the masculine...

Andrew, we would have to shave the Mustache too. We might leave the beard....

heh - Wind, before my photo was up...some people thought I was a guy. In fact, there was one girl who made reference to getting a crush on me hehehehehee...

Really, I don't think Severn sounds too masculine...does it? Really? Rotf...

Well, my photo fixed that...(gee, I hope)..

When I saw the name Severn, I missread it as Stefin, which is a boys name... maybe thats why. But you don't look the slightest bit like a boy   In fact, you are very pretty.

Well no one thought I was a guy, and now I'm wondering how come? I might want to be a guy, once in a while. Sure would come in handy when I get a flat, or the trash needs taking out cause I'll be darned if I'm gonna break my nails doing such manly work.
