If it bothers you, just correct people. I'm sure no one means any offense by it.

Except it's NOT a safe bet. Roughly 1/3 of the playerbase is female.

Methinks it would be interesting to start referring to everyone (including male characters) as she just to see how people react when the shoe's on the other foot.
