I'm a woman, of course.
I even posted pics. and skyped with a really nice poster, in order to get the weirdoes off my back.
But the Blurt thread is full of strange people who have a habit of harassing new female posters and are trying to unmask "catfishing female impersonators".
When they started it with me, I thought that they were joking and pulling my pig-tails, so I giggled with them for quite some time.
But to my utter shock, I realized eventually that they REALLY suspected me of being a female impersonator, and that a couple of them were actually trying to run me off the board, out of fear that I'm a pervert who's trying to catfish the men,
I'm not the only one who encountered such attitudes, in the GB or other forums. Several other female posters have had similar experiences.
This Lit. mentality and attitude seems so unusual and surreal to me, that even to this day I can't suss out when the Blurt posters are serious and when they're joking about my gender.
OK. I'm getting it now.
