Yep.  Despite the number of kind e-mails I get offering to enlarge my penis
;)

I haven't bothered to correct those on Wikipedia who have presumed I'm
male - it hasn't bothered me and doesn't seem worth the typing.  But since
seeing you comment on this I've realised you are right - we have a tendency
to presume anyone without an obviously female name is male.  And I do it
myself all the time.  I can't think of a single contributor with a
gender-neutral name that I picture as female (unless they have identified
themselves as such).

See Stevertigo's comment on [[Talk:clitoris]] for a classic presumption of
the male gender of all contributors (not to single you out Steve - it was
just the timing that really made me notice this)
