It’s only just occurred to me (after @feather1952 mentioned that she didn’t know my name) that I am still set at my social media default of not revealing that I am a woman in my profile picture or my user name.

@dropbear @feather1952 not much.
@dropbear @feather1952 though I see your pronouns next to your user name so depending on settings others might too

@Tattooed_Mummy oh interesting! I wasn’t trying to hide it, it’s just instinct not to announce it

@dropbear obviously not everyone has their pronouns in the right bit to be displayed, but if they are, I see them

@dropbear @feather1952 not much.
@Tattooed_Mummy @dropbear @feather1952 Hmm, not really.

It’s only just occurred to me (after @feather1952 mentioned that she didn’t know my name) that I am still set at my social media default of not revealing that I am a woman in my profile picture or my user name. I wonder if the experience for women is different here in the fediverse?
@dropbear @feather1952 No, I don't notice any weird behaviour here (other than occasionally being followed by male-presenting accounts with a profile pic of a man with dog/cat, no posts and a tagline saying what a normal, well off and *grateful* man he is. Those get blocked when I notice them cos they're obviously some kind of fake)

Umm, has that always been the case?
I have a memory of seeing an account elsewhere, and thinking "Oh, that's dropbear", based on facial recognition (by my brain). I may have been reading too many time travel novels, got accounts misremembered, or have not had enough coffee

@isol yep, I’ve never had my name or my photo on my profile. I have shared selfies and I’ve told people my name if they asked + I have the #AdventuresOfCass
Hashtag when I travel though so maybe one of those @feather1952 -

@dropbear I knew you were Cass simply because you've used it in hashtags previously. I've always used my name or a variant of it - probably because I've been online long before social media was a thing.
