[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know several male Staceys and Traceys, and they seem to be okay. Interestingly, while I agree with you that being a woman with a male name seems easier, the women I have worked with who have male names have all put distinguishers in their email signature blocks. For example, Shawn wrote "Ms. Shawn Girl," and "Tommie" included her pronouns before anyone else added them to signature blocks. I've never seen a male do this, so it leads me to believe that it bothers women more. [/quote] I’m a woman with a gender neutral name that leans masculine. It doesn’t bother me at all when people send me Dear Mr. SoAndSo emails, but they often seem embarrassed when they realize the mistake. A “Ms.” or pronouns avoids that. I think most people in my shoes go that route just to avoid confusion or spare others awkwardness.[/quote]
