It happens more often outside of EoFF to be honest. I've been using the same name for a long time in a lot of places (probably around 14 years or so now).
When I first joined, a lot of people thought I was a chick.
I get mistaken for a lot of things, but never for a woman.
Sometimes I get mistaken for a girl. Most of the time people just assume I'm an asshole.
Yes; it doesn't bother me.
I don't remember ever being mistaken for a girl online before. I'm usually pretty good about guessing other people's gender, too.
I don't actually imagine this has ever happened to me.![]()
Sometimes I get the occasional "he" or disbelief when I say I'm female because "there are no girls on the Internet!!!!1"

A foreign newbie in chat thought I was a dude once. And I got mistaken for a dude a lot when I was still Demosthenes. Not anymore!
I've been mistaken for a girl, but only a few times.
There was a year when a lot of you thought I was a dude.
