I woke up early (for a Sunday early, for me early, for how much sleep I got early) with an idea. And I've just spent over an hour looking for something online and not finding it. Grrr!

Awhile back there was a bit of code out there that would swap the gender in a text. More than just pronouns, it'd change things like 'brother' to 'sister', etc. Now, where the heck is it?!

I must not be coming up with the right combination of keywords to find it, as I can't even find a reference to it. It's one thing if the script got taken down.. it's another thing that I can't even find old blog posts talking about it.

I did re-find the Gender Genie, which is worth a gander. It analyzes text and identifies if the writer is male or female. So I'll swap you the Gender Genie for a gender-swapping text-changing thingamabobber.

So I tried this out the Gender Genie. Two of my stories were written by male authors, and two by females.

Anyone else giving it a try?

Found it! A post on the Feminist SF blog happened to give me the right keyword, which was 'regender'.

And it is logically at http://regender.com/.

So of course I had to run this on my website. What it mainly did was change male names to female, and vice versa...

So our clarion instructors included Gretchen Frost, and Jennifer and Anthony VanDermeer, and Cora Doctorow, and the team of Dennis Sherry and Ellis Kushner.

We had two Karls and a Carl amongst us. And your name, of course, would be Julio.

That's awesome! I love the Gretchen. Maybe I'll have to use Julio as a trial pen name. :)
