Lisa, if you do a search and click on the "view all members" shortcut shown in the upper right hand corner of the Forums page, you can scan about 67 pages listing all the member user names. Sex or sexual orientation is not one of the criteria shown in personal profiles. That’s left to the discretion of the individual members. If you search all of the user names, you’ll only find 14 or so that can be reasonably assumed to be "gender specific" and point to female. Most of the others are gender neutral, but many are male gender specific, such as "tman", "troutman", etc. We now have a total of 1,341 members, 14 of whom are more or less self-identified as females. That’s about 1.043%. There are probably a few more, perhaps even many more, but we have no way of knowing, unless they choose to speak up and identify themselves. Apparently, if they even exist, shyness is a common characteristic.
BTW, just so there's no confusion, p-t-max is a guy.
