it's interesting to see how people gender me (it's mostly women->female, men->male).
This has been my experience, too. Even when using what I think of as a fairly feminine username, I'm consistently presumed to be a dude in baseball-centric spaces, and the same in comics-centric spaces when I spent time there.
sometimes I feel so tired of being the one going "yo that shit is terrible".)
I hear that, and often I just don't have the juice to engage, so the list of non-fandom places where I regularly read the comments, let alone participate, is steadily shrinking. Hats off to you for trying with your writers group!
My comics knowledge of those characters is pretty spotty, but I could do SPAG/Ameripicking if that's helpful.
