    The gender is tied to the role for me. Male warrior, female assassin, male wizard, female ranger, male anyone with a gun, female thief.

    Its about picking the gender that best fits the vibe of the character. The character is in mind their own person and also never represents me.

    All this doesnt matter since I’m picking a warrior 99% of the time became i hate wizards and sneaky folk.

    I just think they look better. Rather stare at something nice than fugly. The only time i play a male is when they have bad ass enough looking armor at low enough levels. Even then its prob an alt from all the gear I got on my female main since its not usable on her.

    So I’m also in this crowd, and I’ve also given my gender as a cishet man lots of consideration. I genuinely don’t identify in the real world ultimately as a woman and don’t really wish I’d been born female. I’m more in the crowd of it just being a different experience or perspective that isn’t otherwise available to me.

    If I could easily flip between two universes where I could be either man or woman, I’d be interested, but only if it was reversible. I wouldn’t want it to be permanent.

    And this isn’t from the perspective of being gender-fluid either. I wouldn’t want any of that in my current life as it exists right now.

    Forcing trans ideals on folks because of the character they play is one of the reason the cheeto bandito won… just stop it its toxic as fuck.

    I generally try and make my characters look like me (or my fursona if they have furry character options). The only exceptions are, Fallout 2, Demon Souls, and a lot of shooters because there are mechanical differences. Fallout 2 has special dialogue for women and makes saving Vic easy as fuck, Demon Souls has armors that are specific to gender, and female characters in shooters often tend to be smaller and thus harder to shoot.

    So I guess I am gender fluid, but only if I gain an advantage when changing genders.

    I think it’s very likely you’re trans and there’s nothing wrong with that, it’s important to come out and accept yourself and realize that these are signs you might not be as cis as you thought you were.

      You must follow the Egg Prime Directive. You may not push or coerce people into identifying or not identifying a certain way. You must respect them as the gender they claim to identify as. In addition it is extremely in poor taste to make assumptions about other people’s identities based on external factors, we understand it cannot be helped but it is best not to as it can affect the way you treat others in noticeable ways.

        Don’t quote that gatekeeping garbage to me, I’m not pushing or coercing anyone of being trans. No trans person does that. That’s TERF garbage meant to try and villify trans people for existing or being supportive of other trans and questioning people.

    If a person plays as an opposite-gender character, it’s because they secretly wish to be that gender and are therefore trans.

    If a guy plays as a same-gender character, it’s because they like looking at same-gender ass and are therefore gay.

    There are no other options.

    Trollface

    spoiler

    If they somehow find a third option anyway, that just mean’s they’re a furry.

      On the one hand, this is funny. On the other hand, this is exactly the kind of humor that led to me repressing my gender identity. I feel so conflicted.

        That’s the neat part: you can’t repress your gender identity because ‘straight’ wasn’t an option!

        (Unless you actually are straight, but whatever – it won’t kill us to be the ones who have to just fuckin’ deal with it, for once!)

        spoiler

        (Seriously though, my intent was to be funny in an inclusive way, not a repressive way. Apologies if I missed the mark!)

    I’m hardcore hetero on the Kinsey Scale, but I’ve always played females. Fuck it, I’ve been a male every day of my life and games are there to escape reality (for me anyway).

        You can keep saying it, but that doesn’t make it true. Trying to force someone to be trans is just as bad as trying to force someone to be straight shame on you.

          I’m not forcing anyone to be trans. I’m encouraging them to see their signs for what they are. The whole forcing people to be trans is TERF bullshit based on the idea that we’re transing the kids.

      Lots of people make excuses, but if they really sat down and thought about it without any internalized transphobia they’d realize it’s actually because they want to be a girl more than anything else.

          It could mean that you’re a guy, but it could also mean you are a trans woman with lesbian attraction. There are trans women who still have and use their penis in sexual intercourse.

          If you feel like you want to be a girl and have an urge to do girly things, it’s more likely to be the latter though.

    I tend to play female characters. Only because of the smaller hitbox tho, definitely not for other reasons.
