Hey, Dana, I asked in a different thread something that I have been curious about, are you a woman or a man? Someone referred to you as a male, and I thought you were a woman. I'd appreciate if can you clear this up for me? Thanks....

Simple answer is, it ought not matter if it doesn't take away from my posts. I'll refrain from being the subject of that kind of speculation. People who have communicated with me on other channels know already and speculation on Steemit on this matter is easily political.
If you are very curious I do have a public key if you know how to use it. I'll discuss personal matters in private.
ok, no problem. It doesn't matter actually to me, I was just noticing that people were using the pronoun "he" when referring to you. I am sorry to have asked actually.
It's fine. I don't correct people. I let people believe whatever is convenient for them to believe until I decide to reveal additional details.
My reason for saying it's political is because I've seen more than a few posts by women on Steemit discredited for no reason other than gender. It's probably something to write a post about at some point in the future but I'm trying to avoid stoking political flames.
I avoid conflict for the most part unless I feel that I can really get something beneficial accomplished. Sexism exists, everywhere, here as well. It's not going to go away, and in fact I doubt that there exists any female whales. This is a problem and until there are, I feel that things will not change in any meaningful way for women.
