I have an alter ego, Phoebe Flood, which I have long intended to use to submit work to Mslexia and the like. I have never actually done so because Mslexia doesn't PAY, and I suppose if it did I would blow my cover when I tried to cash the cheque. It used to be possible to set up a bank account under a fictitious name, but now, of course, you can't do it. Could ask for cash, I suppose.
I think that to be a young black lesbian of left wing persuasion would be quite advantageous on the British poetry scene. Why, come to think of it ....
