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.
