How would identify a female player guy/girl?

Sorry but this answer, I am a fangirl, and I fangirl over bishies, so of course I will make a bishie character and not a female character. I tried female character, but I changed back to a male character, because I like looking at my sexy elezen (before that my sexy miqo); and I think it's the same for males - of course they will prefer looking at their female characters: that doesn't mean they want to get breast implants and put some lipstick on, it means they want eyecandy... fandom man, it's fandom and ff14 is fanservice when it comes to this.

So it's a sexual thing, wanting to see your toon as the opposite sex as your rl self? If that's the case fully immerse yourself in the game and find someone of your opposite sex irl and plays their same gender in their toon and get to know them. Far more enjoyable that way. Besides, isn't ffxiv meant to be a social game?

Some of us just prefer the male armors and weapons to the sexualised female counterparts. After all, we lady dragoons have a silly hole cut out of the belly area. Even on my adorable little Lalafell the gear feels over sexual for females.

Coincidentally, this is why I play as a Lalafell and glamor all of my gear to something which can be both cute and modest at the same time. What I am curious to know is why you are so focused on players being their own gender. Surely the whole idea of having fun is to do it in your own way. Games are a form of escapism after all.
