If you were completely ambiguous in username and said that, it'd be a small tell. A single turn of phrase does not a gender make, however. On these MUSHes people would try to figure you out over a several-month period, or even several-year. XD
Why is it even a tell to begin with? It seems kind of strange...
It's less of one than starting all descs from the top down (a "girl" tell). I'd call it like a half-point tell, and
only if it's in tandem with other tells and
only if the person's gender is actively under question, like mine was. It's hard to explain, and I only know as much as I do about it because I was so godly at evading it. Personally, I never cared what gender the other player was, but I think it's been established that I'm less hung up on that sort of thing than "normal", I guess?

Ah, yes, the "I must know your gender so I can fall in twue nerd wuv on the intertubes" game. Reveals the bigot in the best of us when they finally get an answer, and it's not what they wanted. Tip: neither/nor is never the right answer.
Hahaha, yeah. Not to mention the girls usually want to know so they can decide if you're "the enemy" or not. When I played Tannu by himself, I was a fresh slab of meat there for their entertainment. When my gender became under question, ie I started playing Alleyana as well, I was potentially "that b*tch". It cut down on the stalking, at least.
Guys were
usually more laid back about it, but not always. Especially if, god forbid, you had somewhat befriended them OOCly. "I can't tell you what's bothering me! You wouldn't understand, it's a
guy thing!" "But you thought I
was a guy until I told you otherwise two days ago. After making you promise not to be a douche about it." "...Still! Suddenly this is all very awkward and strange and-- *brain explodes*"
