@HodofHod Well, I don't know your name, never seen a picture, and don't recall your referring to anything that would imply you're male or female (though I can go back and check your first-person references in questions and in chat).
@ShmuelBrill Kabala. He's a shochet not a posek. :-)
@msh210 There are a couple things I've said that might have been tip-offs... I'm not yet sure how anonymous I want to be here, so for the time being, I'm keeping most details private, though obviously, some are already known, v'd"l
@msh210 good one!
@msh210 If (s)he is female, then I am uncomfortable with how familiar (s)he is with the halachos of beard and mustache trimming. judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/13041/…
@msh210 btw, since this site is officially/unofficially also know as miyodea, and thats on the page before chad gadya, I'm not sure if mods are the shochet or some combination of a schochet and the two above him ;-)
@HodofHod Or the one below.
@msh210 indeed, wasn't sure if I should say that one, though ;-)
@jake you are obviously referring to my most scholarly comments to that question :-D
Feb 14, 2012 19:49
@HodofHod Indeed.
@jake perhaps I am just a scholarly woman à la monica? ;-)
@monica, I mean that seriously; the ";-)" is with regard to the suggestion, not with regard to you. just clarifying
Feb 14, 2012 20:09
@HodofHod I gather from the wink that you're in fact male, then.
@msh210 Not necessarily :-)
but yes, I am
@HodofHod Ah. You know how you "know" someone online is male (for example) and then you can't remember whether you really know it or were just assuming it? (Or does that happen only to me?) Anyway, that's what happened here.
@msh210 Yes, and no. I've done it before, but mostly I just think of users as "its" unless their username has some gender-specific quality

cool! just discovered a hidden tab on the users page, try this link: judaism.stackexchange.com/users?tab=activity
@HodofHod Has @MonicaCellio ever asserted that (s)he is female?
@jake Yes: in her username and gravatar.
@jake and in chat
@msh210 Ah, merely diversions. One cannot make assumptions. :)
Feb 14, 2012 20:45
@jake She can talk all day about how she's female and be lying: I don't see why a username and gravatar are less reliable than what she claims verbally.
@msh210 A good point.
@MonicaCellio we should have been talking about moshiach!
Speak of the...
@MonicaCellio, hi :-)
@msh210 ....of the Monica

@HodofHod That reminds me of "the Wendy" (from Peter Pan)
@msh210 not familiar, sorry :-(
@HodofHod There was a girl named Wendy and some boys who'd never met a girl and had heard that she was coming and thought she was "a Wendy" and "the Wendy", rather than "Wendy".
@msh210 ahhhh.... got it! :-)
(Actually, for the pedants: I was referring to Peter and Wendy, the novel, not Peter Pan, the play. I've never read/seen the play, and don't know whether "the Wendy" appears in it.)
@msh210 laugh I got email that y'all were talking about me -- it only mentioned HodOfHod's mention, though, not the rest. So I came to see what you were saying. :-)
Yes, I am a woman. Unless somebody wants to come to Pittsburgh and verify, I don't know how else I can prove that. :-)
And @HodofHod, thanks for the compliment, and congrats on the new job!

@MonicaCellio I'm coming in three weeks for a wedding.....
@MonicaCellio your welcome, and thanks!
