[QUOTE="mhacdebhandia, post: 4612371, member: 18832"] The poll doesn't include my position: "I don't care about the gender of your character." That's not strictly true. I know a gamer who always plays ridiculously over-sexualised female characters, seemingly because he gets off on that in some way. Technically, I won't play with him because he plays cross-gender characters - but, specifically, it's because he plays cross-gender characters in a [b]creepy[/b] way, so practically speaking I won't play with him because he's unpleasant to play with, not because his characters are female. The best game of [i]D&D[/i] I ever played included a female sorceress played by a male friend of mine. The next d20 game I played in after that included a female spellcaster played by a guy. The last [i]GURPS[/i] game I played in started off with a female character played by a guy, though he had to drop out after a while. It has never been an issue for the people with whom I game, probably because I game with really good players. [/QUOTE]
