1) I've played Male, Female, Androgynous, bisexual, male and homosexual; female and Lesbian. I tend to look at the game and what it offers and then decide what biological sex my character will be, and then depending on who I play with and their comfort level, I may explore sexual preferences.
With Certain games and Certain Gamers I will almost always chose to play a Male. I notice I do this a lot in Convention games, if I'm the only female present and there I am given an option.
Sometimes I play cross gender for a feeling of power, a feeling of belonging or because playing a male seems like the right thing to do.
In Mountain witch, I was the only female player at a convention, and not familiar with anyone at the table, playing a Male Ronin felt safer, I was just one of the guys then.
2) 2 to 4 males and 2 females (two of they guys don't get along so well, and not so much lately due to scheduling conflicts), 2 males and 2 Females (there are actually two variants of this group with a male switching out for a different male, Once every few months), One Male and 2 females, (about once a week), 5 males, 2 females (every other week)
There are a number of gamers in our area, not all of them get along with each other, but Michael and I can game with most of them.
