'Passing' online?

[Cristi]

OK, something just happened that I didn't look for intentionally, but it is still kind of cool.

I have an email account for cristi on gmail. It is cristi.<lastname>@gmail.com

So a few days ago I got an email at that address that was obviously meant for somebody else. Since it looked like the kind of email that was pretty important, I replied to the sender to tell him that I don't think I was the one it was meant for.

It turns out that his SISTER'S emai address is <lastname>.cristi@gmail.com and he had entered it backward. The fun thing is that we exchanged a few emails afterward and ended up having a small conversation via email. So, unintentionally I ended up 'passing' as a woman with him. It was a bit strange to think that HE thinks he is chatting with a woman.

My question is, how many others here have female online personalities in other places than this website, where people have no idea that you are anything other than a GG? I know that at the very least, there are probably quite a few of us that game online and play as female characters!

This has happened to me because of MSN

For some reason a girl issued her email address to her contacts

She gave them mine by mistake

So I ended up passing to around 6 or 7 people :D

Thi also happened when a friend never cleared her laptop memory properly :eek:

[Jodie Wexler]

I have my female email address so I can join sites like, this but I have never attempted to pass as a women in any email communications.
Just recently I contacted a local lingerie shop using my Jodie email but I informed them I was a CD and that I was wondering if their shop was CD friendly. I also said I would visit the store as a male if I came.
I received a nice reply stating that they were and that I would be welcomed.

it never happened to me but i'll bet it would be a real kick to pass on line, especially because I'm not passable in person.

[Marvina Martian]

I do it inadvertently all the time. Since most of the time my emails are a little femme and I just use Bre a lot of people just assume and I'm OK with that. ;)

Communicating into this nameless, faceless box is quite easy and makes me be able to let my inner self out when I am writing. I quite like that as I am sure many of you also do!

It does not seem right to use email in this way.

[Mariah]

Of course I have a female e-mail (Abit I own 5 domain and have 30 e-mails lol)
as for personalities on line, I have my true (girl), the one I've and for ages for gaming (guy), one for car sites (guy), one to snoop on old friends (russien guy), and in a old life my hacker name. I'm going ot get rid of all but my true account. no need for the rest really.

hopes!

I've had my "girl" e-mail/identitiy for about six years now. I use it for those things I don't want in my regular guy e-mail.

[susann_gardener]

I have had my girl net-identity for as long as the 'net has existed. Many forums... :happy:

[Kristen Kelly]

I have a few female e-mail addresses that I use to send catalog offers and such, I even have a e-mail I use at the gaming site I play Texas Hold-em, while chatting keeps their minds off the game it's Kristen38DD, they are always looking to start a conversation :tongueout

[Eugenie]

I'm not surprised... You have some very feminine features; in particular a beautiful cleavage...

It has happened a couple of times to me too that someone took me for a woman on the basis of my pictures...

I've subscribed to "Netlog" upon the invitation of a "sister". This is an open type of system, which is rather openly accessible.

Through that community, I've been a few times contacted by men who thought that I was a woman. But I must admit that I filled my profile as a "female" (the "transgender option wasn't available and I didn't want to put in "male"). However, in my profile description I said "Woman by choice"...

Well I find it rather flattering to be called a woman...

:hugs:

I had one guy send me an invite to go dancing after viewing my MySpace profile. Mind you, it says many times crossdresser and t-girl. About a minute after the first e-mail he sent out another one after he noticed the cd in my profile. He was very nice about it but just didn't want to dance once he found out. I told him I took it as very nice compliment that he thought I was a lady that he would like to take out dancing!

[Nicole Erin]

Nope, I am a guy online.
You see, there are a lot of perverts who see so much as a female name or the letter "D" or the number 38 and want to cyber.
Aside those who can read French, most people don't know what my email addy means anyways.

[Michl41]

Since I'm such a hopeless lesbian, I've entertained the idea of going on-line as one.........do u think it's wrong or not???????

I guess that makes me a schizo or something, I have my femme personality online and very femme and IS female.
Then I have my guy side, which is funny b/c there is another by the same name as me that is famous......

[MJ]

yes i do and one time i started i dialog with this woman she thought i was a gg and i was not going to say anything until she found out i like woman well she did too and she wanted to web cam and then she wanted to get naked :eek: i made some lame excuse and log off ...
morale of the story be truthful up front

[Cristi]

...morale of the story be truthful up front

I agree, and want to stress the fact that I did NOT try to deceive this person in any way. I just wanted to send him a quick message about his error, but didn't feel the need to say "..and by the way I'm a crossdresser".

Yea, and I'm one of them. I get mail for Joanna from correspondence, meetup groups and blogs. I posted my resume seperately with Joanna's and my name and she gets a lot more job offers than I do, and its usually for more money. Its kinda funny but I'm kinda jealous of myself. she gets better job offers than I do , and has better online friends than I do. :sad:

I have a confession to make.... somehow someone sent an invite to me to join a womans social website... so I figured it must be a sign from up above and I joined. I created a fictitious identity (kinda what I would be if I had been born a woman) and started participating.... well, in the end I became friends with apparently a very hot bi-girl who was really into well... I guess you'd call it lesbian cybersex... it was really cool. We had some really fun back and forths... it was a very interesting expereince. Is that wrong? I'm a good person and no one got hurt. We really became good online friends... so what if she was friends with my fantasy self?

That very amusing, lol.

[Pamela Julie]

My online femme identity is not intended to deceive anyone, only to identify my inner femme being. Except for here, I don't have personal conversations on the web. So I am not deceiving anyone.

[JoAnnDallas]

On occasion I have got emails from people on my yahoo email account. I also get a few IM's from men who have found my yahoo profile. every so often I will discover that they did not read my profile and thought they were IMing a real GG. I had this one guy that refused to believe me when I told him I was a crossdresser. He insisted that I was a real GG and only trying to fool him. I did not think I look that good. LOL

[Niya W]

Guys on yahoo are stupid. They would ask me all the time am I guy or a girl. Read the profile and it will tell you every thing

[LynnInDenver]

On the forums I've been Lynn on, my status was an open secret, but I had people compliment me on my 'ability' to 'hold character'. It was an eye-opener the first few times.

[JoAnnDallas]

The first time I got a IM from a guy that thought I was a GG, I was flabergasted. I asked him question on how I looked and what he thought about my outfit and etc. We talked for about 15 minutes, then I told him I was a MTF CDer. He was quite for a couple of minutes and then came back saying I was fooling him. I told him NO I was not. Finially he said if your REALLY not a GG, you should have been born a GG. I was so fluster about the whole thing, I did not know how to respond. I know we all try to dress to blend in, that is not to be noticed, but under close scrutny, I am sure that anyone will be able to tell I am really a guy. Later I took these incidents into account when I started going out in the public. I figured that if some people thought I was a real GG, then mabey most will not notice and leave me alone. As it turned out most don't notice and those who do don't really care. LOL

[veronicagirl]

I will admit that I go to 1 site where everyone "knows" that I'm a girl. It's a site for recipe exchanges, talk about makeup, fashion and girly stuff. It's fun and innocent.

This is the only place Carly exists... I am electronic... I was and am not really Carly.. or maybe I am....
