It is unknown whether Lauda is male or female, or what age Lauda was. I say “she”, because I think that Lauda had feminine behaviour. But she refused to disclose all such information, for reason of privacy. I myself asked her many personal questions. All that she would say was, “I’m a cat.”
All those that understand Croatian/Serbian shouldn't have any doubt whether Lauda is a male of female. Among other things, we have different genders for verbs in past tense and adjectives. In his posts made in Croatian board, Lauda always used masculine gender. I remember some time ago I was so bored that I actually tried to find posts where he used feminine gender, to no avail.
Just an example from one of his posts. Adjectives and verbs are bolded, all masculine gender.

Zauzet sam nesto trenutno, ali bar ima srece s ovom cijenom.

Maybe Lauda wanted to hide his gender right from the beginning, but somehow i think that he had just a bit of fun with people guessing his gender because of his name ends with an "a" , even though when i heard his name for the first time it didn't sound as a female name since it reminded me of a famous F1 driver Niki Lauda.
