Probably a stupid question...how does Party know I'm a girl?

[VoraciousReader]

I was a Party virgin until a week ago. I originally deposited at Stars and have always been happy to play there. But the instant bankroll offer got me.

So, imagine my surprise when I sit down at a table to bonus clear and realize the images are 9 men + me as a woman.

I have looked all over for a setting that indicates I'm female and can't find one. How do I change this? Should I change this? Last night I started to wonder if I should.

Live, it seems to be an advantage to be a woman. Online, it seems to get me more hostility. But I don't like to give away more info than necessary to my online opponents and I'd like to have the option of changing it. (There's also a thread in Psychology about women players that furthered my thinking along these lines.) I assume there is a way to change it and I'm just being obtuse?

Thanks.

u probably selected female in your personal info, I'm pretty sure they ask

You did specify your gender when you signed up, actually. You probably just don't remember.

You can write to support and ask them to change your gender...

Yes, but then somebody knocks on your door a week or two later and says they're here to perform the surgery you requested.

This thread is useless without pictures.

Could you elaborate. I have rarely seen any gender specific chat. But maybe thats only because women hardly ever play.

I turned of avatars right away so I never realized that you could tell a person's gender that way - but I see extremely hostile chat towards women fairly often. A lot of people seem to go off even more when a woman puts a bad beat on them or just wins a hand.
