I've gotten 'she' from 'Eliezer Yudkowsky' no less.
Interestingly, over the course of some time monitoring blog trackbacks for Overcoming Bias, I never saw Robin Hanson mistaken for a female Robin.
So... um... I realize that this isn't really what the whole point is about at all, but I didn't feel particularly insulted to be called a girl; what does it say about your opinion of men that you're insulted to be mistaken for male? :)
(And yes, I know, it probably wouldn't be annoying if it was only happening to you personally and no one else, it's the background social assumptions that are annoying.)
I automatically assumed Yvain was female for a while, because the name looks like "Yvonne".
Sir Yvain, Knight of the Lion.
that was interesting, and there was I thinking of alicorn as male and yvain as female, shuks..
