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.
If I remember correctly, you are oppressed by the wife's father to glorify his wine from a plastic bottle. it could cast a serious shadow on your image as a man
now serious, does Lauda's gender really matter?
Also, he/she officially leaves this forum, why are we discussing this topic two years later?
