I put it to you, then, to come up with scientifically verifiable definitions of "male" and "female" that are so entirely exclusive of one another that you can validate ideas of deviance and abnormality when people cross the boundaries. Our biology drives our psychology and differences do exist but "male" and "female" are, from anything credible I've ever read, rough approximations and applicable only on the level of a population. At the individual level, we're way too complicated to be so constrained and the boundaries of "normal" go all the way to the horizon.

I sense gender dysphoria!

And? My friend has gender dysphoria and is the sweetest, kindest, brightest, and strongest person I know. She will have to endure labeling and stupid prejudiced people because she was born with the wrong genitals. How fucked up is that?

Lets not turn this into a gay/bi/TG bashing thread tho. I am very passionate about respecting the rights of those who aren't "normal" so long as its not hurting anyone in the process. Screw whoever you want, do whatever you want to your own body, I have no right to judge you, and you have whatever rights I do, as far as I'm concerned.

You have got better at Sounding Smart on the Internet! (250)

BTW what do these guys expect when they give items/coin to a female character? Hot cybersex? Or them to claim you as their boyfriend? What retards.

The definition is one has a cock and the other has a pussy. And there is no concrete line that says, when I do this, I am going into female territory. But once you have reached a certain maturity level there are behaviors that are considered abnormal when compared a large sample population. Experimentation and finding oneself is one thing. But to continually be intigued by the genderification of the opposite sex is a sign of gender identity issues. I personally don't give a fuck if someone is confused, curious, gay, creepy, whatever as long as they are good peeps and don't suck at their class they're cool with me. But I personally would never make a female toon and I will continue to feel the desire to do so stems from abormal tendencies.

It only matters if you roleplay, and then you're already fucked in the head.

I guess if you're really a young chick or something then I appologize.

Jealously of my sig has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

The only dudes that get pissed off about other guys playing female toons are the ones who are trying to hit on us. Don't, and it isn't an issue.

FYI, this is a fantasy game and none of you are the characters you are playing. Duh.
