Message: <blockquote data-quote="sniffles" data-source="post: 2233965" data-attributes="member: 30035">I'm female, and I predominantly play female characters.  I started doing so because I was the only female player in the group and I wanted to balance the scales a bit.  Fortunately none of the guys objected. After 10 years of roleplaying, I've still mainly played women, but there are now 2 other regular female players in the group.  The other women don't play males.  Several of the male players have played females, however.  In a recently-ended campaign, my fiancee played a thong-wearing female wizard.   I don't really care what gender my fellow players choose to play, as long as they're not stereotypical about it, or offensive.   This thread made me think a bit about gender in our campaigns, and I've come to the conclusion that there really isn't any.  We say that our PCs are male or female, but how we run them doesn't differ much depending on gender.  If my male fighter PC suddenly underwent a sex change it wouldn't change anything significant about the way I run him (but it would make a bit of a problem for the GM since the PC is married to an NPC!).   One question for those who say they can't run a convincing female PC:  why does running a PC of a particular gender require you to do anything different?  I'm particularly referring to the comments about voices.  I don't use a gruff voice or lower tone when I play males.  Why do you think you need to use a different voice for a female?</blockquote>
