I am indeed female. At times it hasn't been easy to operate in a mostly male world, but for the most part, I don't think male/female matters. At one time when I first started posting online, I had a very bad experience when I let it be known that I am female and for the longest time, I never let my gender be known. But after that one time, I never had a problem. We are all die hard Celtics fans and that is what counts.
