What a relief
Apparently I more likely to be male than female! Following a link from tales from the woods, I paid a visit to The Gender Genie which is able to predict the sex of an aauthor based on writing style. I fed it the text of this post (which was the most recent one to meet the length requirements). Results:
Words: 988 (NOTE: The genie works best on texts of more than 500 words.)
Female Score: 1638
Male Score: 2293
The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: male!
I don't think the reference to my beard growing had any impact on the result.....

OK, here's an idea. Can you maximise your score without reading the explanation of how it works? What words do you think are more likely to be uttered by a man than a woman?

Even after reading the durned thing I can't maximize my score. I can't even minimize it, which I'd rather. Durned think keeps tellling me I'm a man. I've checked yet again and I'm still missing certain physical attributes (and have a couple which only men who have had operations could comptete with).
There's some gender 'quiz' around that also keeps telling me I'm a man. I give up. I'm obviously a gay man in a female body.

That is funny, I will have to look into this test and get back to on how female it thinks I am LOL.
