D&D General Do you allow "crossplaying" at your table? Has it ever caused problems?

Could you not use that word to describe intersex characters, please?

No prob: I edited it properly.
Although technically the full version of the word is the Japanese word for Hermaphroditism and in a broader sense towards the term androgyny. Especially within in Japanese Folk religions/traditions, where certain gods did not have an identifiable gender or said deities gender were considered ambiguous. I think the Lunar Phase also had some kind of effect depending on tales. And then Kabuki plays had a role known as the Onnagata, or the Woman Role, which was basically the Kabuki take on how in English plays, they would have younger males play the role of women due to how light their voices were.

And some elves/ can be like that in their appearance. And with 5E they can further that even further with their gender-fluid nature.

I am a gay male player and play female characters about 75% of the time. It has not caused problems.

The main character I write about in my story hour was my first attempt at playing a female character. I did it for exploration reasons, and have enjoyed it.

Since then I have been in several other campaigns with men playing women, and women playing men, as has my son.

In the campaigns for both of us, it has never been an issue.

Yeah, I know about the linguistic context behind the word. But in a modern context, particularly in English-speaking spaces, it’s mostly in porn.

@Weiley31
Thanks for handling the racier slang politely and editing in the proper term. Do try to avoid terminology with “adult” connotations in general, please.
