Being Gendered Correctly

i call everyone by their character's forename.

Actually not to nitpick, but historically within the English Language the Masculine Pronouns have actually been considered the Gender Neutral Pronouns as well. That is because English does not have an individual set of Gender Neutral Singular Pronouns the way most other languages do.

Although it pains me to use "they" which is technically plural, we already do this with the 2nd person pronoun as well. "You" is plural. We have no 2nd person singular pronoun any more because "ye" fell out of common use a few hundred years ago in favor of the more polite plural form, even when speaking to a single person. I'm not suggesting "they" as a remedy however, just pointing out the similarity in how these developed to their current forms.

i call everyone by their character's forename.

"I talked to Louis and he said that he's going to be late because he had plans with his friend."
vs.
"I talked to Louis and Louis said that Louis is going to be late because Louis had plans with Louis' friend."
If you ever used that second line and you weren't being deliberately ironic, you must be the most tedious person in the world to talk to.

Personally, I get called both he and she in game and I respond to both with equal indifference. In fact I go out of my way not to reference or reveal my real life gender, both to avoid the appearance of seeking attention and because it does not matter and should not matter to the people with whom I am playing.
