I wanted to write something here for a long time now but, sadly, my free time does not allow me to do everything I want to do... Anyway, here I am Smiley

Lauda is "he" and anyone thinking otherwise is just fooling themselves. [...]
All those that understand Croatian/Serbian shouldn't have any doubt whether Lauda is a male or female. Among other things, we have  genders for verbs in past tense and adjectives. In his posts made in Croatian board,  Lauda always used masculine gender.

I read Rikafip's quoted comment since he published it first time. And, at first sight, I tended to agree that Lauda could have been male. Then I thought again. Could have Lauda done such a mistake? Could Lauda try to avoid exposing their gender by all means and forget what they were doing inside Croatian board?

By knowing Lauda and the way they acted here all the time regarding privacy, I came to the conclusion that it's possible that what Lauda did in Croatian board was yet another step to mislead people about their gender, in order to better protect their privacy (and, if it is so, then it's a brilliant idea!). Somehow (although Lauda never admitted that), in international boards, some perceived Lauda as female. Then "she" wrote, on purpose, as male in Croatian board. Why? One reason could be exactly this: to have people even more confused about Lauda's gender and trigger even more question marks.

I don't think that Lauda would do such mistake and not realize that someone from Croatian board would come, at some point and say - "Hey, look! Lauda is writing like he is a male!".

After all, it's possible (and, pay attention, I said possible, not probable) that she could kindly ask some users here to even maintain the confusion. For example, she could have talked to Rikafip and nullius, asking one to state that Lauda is male and the other to say that Lauda is female Smiley I am not saying that she did it, only that it's possible.

Think about me: I wrote with several occasions that I am the father of a young boy. But does that make me a man? Does that ensure any reader that I actually have a son? In fact, I do but it's also possible that I don't have any son and it's also possible that I am not a man at all. It's not probable, but it is possible.

Having all these in mind, I ceased thinking, after a while, about Lauda's gender. It does not even matter for me. All that matter is that the user Lauda brought great contributions to this forum. And, if Lauda said they're a cat, then cat it is Smiley Voilà!
