    I’m a woman on the internet. I’ve been called, “bro”, “my guy”, etc. unless my post/comment is about something people can derive my gender from.

      Have you not seen the episode of the Simpsons where Homer gets kicked out of Moe’s tavern?

      Look up Guy Incognito.

    I answered to the wrong name once and then i got called that name for 2 years - until i changed jobs. Same thing happened with a hug, but that wasn’t identity- i just didn’t stop it on day 1 and then endured it until someone else said something for me.

    I’ve heard there’s a guy named Arbuckle that lives in our area, and looks just like me. It has not affected my life at all, and no, it’s not Jon.
