ORIGINAL: Najakcharmer Way back when I had more time, and was also leaning a lot more male on my personal gender spectrum, been there done that. If asked about the details of the player rather than the character, I would generally be honest about my biological gender. Very few people ever asked, and the few who did generally continued to accept my gay male dominant character as a hot top for online scenes. I've had the same thing happen. Sometimes it can have quite awkward results. Whenever playing a male character I was always considered male by the person playing the other character involved. One of the female roleplayers I had been interacting with began to make passes in subtle ways. While flattering it wasn't condusive to continuing the RP. She thought there was something unnatural about a genetic female playing such a convincing male. She also condemned me for "trying to lead her astray". Riiight. The same thing happened, though with less of an explosion, when I was playing with a gay male RPer. He was only mildly squicked... and didn't resort to accusing me of trying to corrupt him, as the other RPer had. Another of my co-conspirators developed feelings of a romantic nature for what she thought to be a male RPer. She is now a very, very good friend of mine... and still harbors tender sentiments, even knowing now what she does about me. I think she'd make a brilliant co-top/Dom. While I do credit my devotion to character development, in part... I now also attribute some of the success to being potentially transgendered. My therapist and I are still in talks on that particular point.
