1. Heard that a while back

Went back and reread some of her posts and it is really impossible to discern. I guess we all assume male and getting no indication that is not true just go with that.

3. Neither did I , and I used to exchange with Digby quite often on bartcop back

when sometimes it would be like the Algonquin on steroids.

4. Heh. I starting hearing rumors about Digby being a woman at least a couple years ago.

I loved not knowing. Once I heard about the possibility I started reading what was posted there as a female voice as a mental exercise. I asked myself, is there anything inherently "male" or "female" about the words Digby uses? The phrasing? Is there anything about the ideas and analysis and opinions and questions raised there that *feel* as though they belong to one gender or another?

I never thought so. I was happy to hear Digby's words in my head with either a female or male voice -- though I must admit, I particularly loved hearing Digby as a female voice. Made me feel more confident about writing and expressing my own thoughts.

So now it seems it is a question no longer. Cool! Digby does womanhood proud, and I'm pleased as all get-out! :woohoo:

5. I didn't know until I read your post.

I guess I just assumed she was a he. I never gleaned anything in her writings to draw a conclusion either way. Hmmmm, maybe it was the guy graphic shouting out on the front page.

All I know is Digby is the best political commentator I read on the internet..
