AIBU?

To not know whether 'Maisy' is a male or a female mouse...?

You know, from the books... its not really gender specific......

I call 'her' a 'she' because of the name.... but 'she' is usually wearing 'boys' clothes... at least the duck wears a tutu occassionally....

OP posts:

Thanks

ok I stand corrected, according to wikipedia Miffy is indeed a girl rabbit. Her name means "little rabbit" and she was invented in 1955.

xposted with you cheesesarnie - sexchanges were all the rage in the 80's, perhaps that's where miffy went to before coming out again in the 21st century. It explains his/her absence.

Thanks

Maisy is very definitely a girl, but she has a very ungender specific lifestyle and set of hobbies (so PC ).

Blue cow actually i believe to be a cross dressing homosexual male cow - otherwise 'she'd ' be pink right?blue is a boys colour, although cows are generically female technically......now I'm waffling...off to fill my glass [grn]

"with ears so long and fur so white and Miffy was her name" from my 1970's copy of 'Miffy'.

The thing I love about Maisy is Maisy's farm where she milks the cow to fed her pet cat- truly inspired!
