I quite agree Cazikins, there could be a number of male members already, it can't be checked. There are so many members who have never posted who have full access to every area of the forum.
Given that aside from the Private Lives area, all is available to any Tom, Dick, or Harry who may be interested, it's all pretty irrelevant anyway.
I'm afraid I've been recognised a number of times now, I'm fairly open about stuff and my experience is unusual and therefore likely to be recognised by my friends, family and docs who visit the site. I'm really not too fussed though, I'm just as likely to have a menopause discussion with my window cleaner or Ocado delivery guys. I clearly have no shame!
