I don't care what gender char people play, but that being said, I do feel it's completely fucked up when people prey on others, acting as the opposite gender (or even same I suppose in some cases), only to make their target feel horrible, shameful, & stupid when the truth is revealed. Granted, their targets should've been more careful, but hindsight is 20/20, no?
Personally, I've always had female characters. I'm a chatty person in game, but also rather private about RL. Something in my demeanor, the way I write, my smilies

, what have you, almost everyone knows I'm female (for the record, I don't do /huggles :p ) The only time I've had feeling of dread is when I get this tell: "So where's your boyfriend / husband / sig other?"
Oh, & last thing, I think it'd be weird if I was just standing on the docks or what have you, & suddenly there was $$ or gifts intentionally thrown into the trade window. I'd decline
