I can't stand when males play females or vice versa.  Now anyone who knows me, really knows me, might be shocked. I let my players play wildly bizarre aliens, cyborgs, unusual fantasy races, the very young, the very old and everything in between. I hate limiting my players style or creativity. That said, whenever a player wants to play the opposite sex I discourage it. Actually I cringe and then I discourage it. Why? First, in the 30+ years I've been gaming I think I've seen a decent, in depth and realistic portrayl maybe once. Maybe. Its almost always some horrible exaggeration, either way to slutty and oversexed or dramatically feminist to the point where feminists are saying "Please...just chill". That or there is no indication that the character is a different sex then the player except that its listed on the character sheet. Second, its seems like a wasted opportunity if you have both genders sitting at the table, not to have them interact with each other with their nature mind sets. Its just so much more fun when you see different people who think differently approaching the same problem.  AD"That was a hell of a thing."</blockquote>
