Welcome Brother Tara-Green to the forum. You seem to be managing quite nicely with the language so should have no trouble

Dear Leo, very glad that you salute me! Thank you very much! Maybe I incorrectly filled your profile, I come to you sister, not brother. Dear magusmasonica: How can I shy brothers and sisters, even from another country? Hello, dear-dear Ami! Yes, I belong to the Feminine Grand Lodge of France. And, too, live in St. Petersburg. My age of three years.

Dear Leo, very glad that you salute me! Thank you very much! Maybe I incorrectly filled your profile, I come to you sister, not brother. Sorry about that. To my understanding women in Freemasonry are more often referred to as "Brother," as least in the English speaking world. For example, none of the female brethren in my lodge are ever addressed as "Sister."

Oh, how curious! We have women in the Order referred to as sisters.
Dear Ami, indeed, an interesting difference!
Are the sisters, even among themselves call each other brothers?

In Germany from the information I have (not covering LDH), brothers are brothers and sisters are sisters. In malecraft lodges a wife/partner/girlfriend is referred to as a "sister"
@ ami "I have 3 degrees in lodge "Astre'a" in St.-Petersburg. This lodge GLDF" Wikipedia indicates, under the entry for the GLDF, that there exists a lodge in Moscow. Is "Astrea" a new lodge?

There are some mixed organizations that refer to all Masons as "Brothers." Other mixed or feminine organizations refer to sisters as "sisters" and brothers as "brothers." In the end it doesn't really matter as the long as the spirit of fraternity is there.
