To all you people who are saying it is wrong to assume Jesse is a boys name or that you believe it should be used for both masculine and feminine, suck it up.

I empathize with you girls whose names are Jesse, but believe me, far more people assume it is a girls' name than a boys'. I have even received emails from people in the military who think I am a girl, despite my profile saying what my gender is. I have had enough of it. To parents who want to name their daughters Jesse, please change the spelling to Jessi, or Jessie, or whatever other variation there is.
