So to make restitution, I should make brownies and encourage others to post less inflammatory statements?
Okay. I think I can do that. *looks* Wait. I just realize I ate all the brownies.
Fortunately, brownies are easy to bake more of.
*rummages through Missus Turin's vast stockpile of foodstuffs* I've got a pile o' boxes of brownie mixes. Now to figure out how to teleport object...

Listen, and understand! Those Brownies is out there! They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely will not stop... ever, until you are fed! Our only hope is Sara Conner Marie, a rubit sent back through time to stop them and prevent a literal brownie-pockylypse, aka Fudgement Day.

I thought you were a guy. I was informed otherwise. I apologize. How may I make restitution?
I didn't know either. I have only seen women called Chris as a short version of Crissy or Christine. If it was a female as their full name I always saw it spelled as "Kris". I guess even old wraiths like me can learn new things.

It's a common mistake (I made it too, a while back), and probably just says something about expectations. Chris's avatar is fairly ambiguous, and her name is, too, so we, as a societal habit, fall back on "male as default". We shouldn't do that, of course. It's something to work on. I'm trying to get in the habit of always checking people's profiles these days, and falling back on "they" if that doesn't bear any fruit. I'm not perfect about remembering to do so.

It isn't helped (or is excused by, depending on your perspective) by the fact that "male as the default for unknown gender" is how our language works when talking about living things. It's grammatically correct even when not truly correct.
