thread: 2005-03-15 : Cross-gender Play

So it seems like for 1) there's a few kinds of reasons:
a) I'm interested in certain stuff, and that stuff has a gender implication
b) What I'm comfortable with myself (aesthetically, socially, culturally, whatever)
c) How I think other people will react (what they think of me, what they do, etc.)
Personally, I give most weight to the first.
And for 2) my group is FFM, and the rest of the games I play are by email, and gender is trickier there. I play in a game where one guy plays cross gender and people have refused to believe that the player is male because the character is so believably female, and in the sluttish, over-emotional mold, and some people can't believe that a man can play a character like that and make it believable.
