How can they tell?? Wtf
I don't talk like a man, and I don't talk like a woman. People are only used to hearing men and women talk. That's the scope of their experience talking to human beings. Which means that I don't sound human. I sound like some kind of bizarre alien intelligence. It's scary for these people.
Most people on lemmy, reddit, etc just assume you're a man until you say otherwise. It constantly happens to me, a woman.
I hate to break it to you, but you sound just like every gendered person on the planet. No difference in the way you speak on here from men or women.
You're also a fool, because you think that you can perceive all subconscious influences on your mind. That's the opposite of what subconscious means.
Following your train of tought maybe you are dismissing her opinion because you inconsciously percieve that she's a woman
You know how some people have imaginary friends? I think you have imaginary enemies.
You're making an assertion that people can identify specific personal details over text, but somehow we still need to use a /S to identify sarcasm because text doesn't convey tone or body language. That requires some pretty heavy backup.
