Being Gendered Correctly

[Kimmy_Dee]

I'm a male playing a female character. So are you saying I should throw a hissy fit when someone assumes I'm a female and trades me a flower? No, I don't. It's the exact same situation flipped over. It's not the end of the world. Politely correct them and move on with your life.

No it isn't. I'm also playing a female character. People are calling me he. It shouldn't be that much to ask that people refer to female characters as she.

Have you even bothered reading all the replies to your own thread?

What you ask is not going to happen. In game gender has nothing to do with real life gender. And generally speaking the users of MMOs have historically been males, henceforth the more widespread use of male pronouns.

You can shout all you want, but this is not sexism by any stretch of imagination - it's just habit due to experience, since NO ONE will have a problem calling you "she" when you point out that you prefer it that way. Stop acting like a princess.

I'm convinced this is just a troll thread. The OP came here complaining about a problem that's honestly only a problem to them due to unique circumstances that involve being a transgender. There have been plenty of replies offering advice and trying to explain it's nothing malicious. Hell I even suggested they find the LGBT directory thread so they can join one and prevent themselves from ever being misidentified again, but they just continue arguing that it affects them specially and everyone else should change

..damn, if it is, I fell for it head first.

10/10.

But if she can't pretend she's being persecuted, what will she have to complain about on the internet?

Progress bad. Moving forward bad. Getting this ass-backwards society to finally treat women and men as equals and not cater to men by default bad.

Are you for real?
Do you plan to fight your pseudo feminist battle on the forums of a MMO?

Good luck.
