Being Gendered Correctly

[Pantz]

Believe it or not, no one is being personal.

It's just how some people are used to just using "he". Especially on the internet where you have no idea who the person behind the character is. Just politely correct them. Type "*she" when they use "he" and most would be willing to correct themselves. Those that make a big fuss out of it are just childish and you should just ignore them.

Also, after being on the both end of a lot of chat conversation pranks in the my (loooong) time on the nets its much safer to assume "he" first until proven otherwise (on comms)

OTOH I did had people in the corp/guild/fc/clan/... or even strangers that stated from the start their preferred gender for the conversation and I always tried to respect that regardless of their in game character gender and name.

p.s. as for male's playing female avatars ... I can't help it -- i always get the image of the guy from the Gamer movie playing RL FB thing there /ducks
