Honestly, I think a (small) racial stat difference is reasonable. say for instance (for humans) men get +1 str, women +1 con. Apply other plusses/minuses to other races as desired.
I understand and agree with the original poster though. The idea of some non-human races with a greater division between males and females would make things very interesting. One of the reasons I have enjoyed playing drow campaigns actually. I enjoyed playing two very different sides of the same race.
The way the Drow are described in the novels though, the female drow should have different mods than males, as they are supposedly much larger and physically superior to males.
and although i would offend some people by so doing, transgendered people (people who get sex changes, not people born as ambiguous) in my opinion, merit either male or female, and which I call them would likely depend entirely on whether I knew them before the surgery or not. I would call a man who got a sex change to being a woman a man when around him. He was born with a penis, and assuming he didn't grow boobs at puberty, the penis wasn't a mistake. if he wants to cut it off and have surgery thats his business, just like how its my business if I want plastic surgery on my face, or that I really do want to have two teeth yanked and replaced with screwed in porcelain replacements. He can have as many surgeries as he wants, thats his right. but I still think he is a he. Additionally, I too am a student in a university, following an academic career, in academia. just in case anyone was wondering.
however sociology is not an interesting enough subject for me to make a major out of it, so its just in my timetable because I had a blank spot and its all I could fit in.
