(62,265 posts)Was the other posters nickname gender-neutral?
Did the other poster indicate their gender in their profile?
Was the poster in question misinformed about the gender identity of the photo poster in the past?
There are posters here who I still can't remember if they are male or female, and I know at least in once case I thought someone was a female for many months, because they had posted a picture of who I assumed was themselves. I felt so stupid when I was called out on that one, and I couldn't really explain how I actually thought it, couldn't find the past post that had indicated that to me.
So that's why I use singular they and just don't even concern myself with gender. Anonymous posters on the internet, can be quite daunting with these sorts of things.
