Even thought I think the female miq'ote of FFXIV are extremely overrated, I think that males playing females, or females playing males, is none of your business. If it isn't going to actively affect you in any way, then what harm is it? A lot of people like to play the opposite sex in MMO's or video games because they want a different perspective on things. I'm a male in real life, and yet I love playing as females. Before you say "That's gay..." well, I am gay, but I also know a lot of males that are straight who also like to play female characters. Some like it for aesthetic purposes whilst others like it for sexual reasons (staring at a female all day whilst they play, etc.)

Basically, it's 2015 and who really cares at this point?
