    For the writers out there...
    The Gender Genie

    It has me tagged as female no matter what I put in: mslash, femslash, het, reviews, diary entries, meta rants...

    I'm just so darned feminine.

    Or maybe they just aren't set up for carrots O.o

The Genie is not a threat to the author's masculinity.

According to Koppel and Argamon, the algorithm should predict the gender of the author approximately 80% of the time.

The Gender Genie says I'm a man. I've been living a lie.

Another friend of mine kept getting that result too. I made a joke along the lines of 'and you thought that was just an enlarged clitoris...' and now she isn't speaking to me.

*snort* I thought the above was a very funny joke. Why'd she take offence?

She's German, which probably explains why it thought she was a bloke too.
