To the extent that humans, et al perceive a particular dwarf as female or (more likely) a particular gnome as female, they're just imposing their own paradigm on another culture. The gnomes, in particular, pay along for (a) the value of keeping the secret and (b) the fun of it! (dwarves would generally only play along for reason (a)).Also, you get to add a certain homo-erotic overtone to the whole thing which gives other the races (and players) the creeps when they find out. Suddenly makes dwarves and gnomes seem more alien.I could make some cracks about miners and jewellers, but Eric's grandmother would beat me with her gnomish hook hammer...</blockquote>
