I've played since I was 9, and I've met my share of immature players.  I wouldn't have been comfortable playing cross-gender around them, and I think that if I hadn't found online RPG's, I wouldn't have gotten over those issues.  I've grown a lot since then, thankfully, and my games are much better for it.- Kemrain the Androgenous.</blockquote>
