KDE traffic GENDERS

Hi, if you're reading this message it means that you're on one of the lists
that I regularly monitor for the KDE traffic.
Recently I've been having a hell of a time with something, and I hope you can
help. Most of the contributors to the kde project are men - but not all of
them. And recently I've been quite confused, as someone that I (quite
understandably because her name is unigender) had pegged for a man was not,
and I identified them as "he".
I really don't want this to happen again, this happens to embarrass me, as
well as you. I have telemarketers calling me "maam" on the phone all the
time and it really annoys me.
So if you're a woman who contributes frequently to these lists and would like
to be identified as such on the traffic, please let me know! I don't care
otherwise what your gender is, but I'd really like to avoid giving you organs
that you don't have on the traffic...
And likewise, if you think there's any chance at all that I might get confused
by your name, even if you're a man (names not in english confuse the heck out
of me), please let me know that, too.
Thanks.
