Interesting poll...

I am male in RL and SL.

To those who are worried their pixel-mixing with the same gender, and are afraid of "accidentally being gay" (hahahaha), perhaps you should consider that if you cyber with *anyone* on the internet... it's prolly some 45 year old guy in a basement somewhere telling his mom to get him some more mountain dew.

My AV is genderswitching, depending on my mood or who I'm with's preferences. So
basically, I'd vote for every single option, including herm if it were an option in the poll.
To make it sound as slutty as I am: "I can be anything you want me to, honey..."

And my RL gender is not something I'm going to tell here, so Nyah ^.^
(for the only reason that SL is a fantasy... who'd want to ruin a nice dream by bringing in reality anyways? I have someone I deeply love IRL, so anything in SL can't and won't go beyond SL... I make sure everyone who gets close enough knows that and is well aware of it.)

I think that today, after this post, I'm going to be a vixen again ^.^ gotta love SL and the ability to choose.

(edit) Nope, flat here, 4th floor... and my mom lives 3 hours driving away.

If that could happen I think I would be in heaven. Can you imagine ppl actually having a logical conversation and not getting opnions confused with fact? Would be a dream :P
Will never happen in SL. People seem determined to wear their ahem intelligence on their virtual sleeve.

Of course, if SL could also hide rudeness and stupidity, life would be so much more pleasant for all.


The Cornfield was a good idea for griefers.

I think LL should have a sim where people are sent to, where there is carpeting on the walls, naugahyde chairs, Frank Lloyd Wright buildings, and everything is in earth tones.

You have to wear a nudie suit, or at least a nerhu jacket, and sit back with a big glass of cognac, and listen to Boston.

Talk about relax. Talk about luxury.

Man, that'd be great.

(sigh.)

Well Personaly I Think Its Ok To Cross Gender.even Tho I Stick To My Real Life Gender I Would Still Change Genders If I Felt Like.thats What Sl Is About.its Your Secondlife You Get To Escape Rl And Be Whatever It Is You Want To Be.i Wouldnt Be Upset If I Found Out A Guy I Was Interested In Was A Female In Rl Because I Would Never Meet Any1 In Sl In Rl Unless They Stayed Next Door To Me.but Sl Is About Freedom.

Must...reply...

I love this poll!

I think my friends would be truly shocked if I didn't reply to this, so here goes:

I am a real life female.

In SL:

Human female (girly)
Human female (androgynous)
Human male (androgynous and femmy)
Human male (masculine)
Human herm
Furry female (on occasion) - Mouse, squirrel, horse, bat, kox, joguani
Furry herm (on occasion)

And a variety of female fantasy chars...drow, fairy, demons, etc. Male drow possibly in the future. Rawr!

Yes, I do change avies a lot :p


I do state I actively gender bend in my 2nd Life profile, not that I really need to, with the name "Morrisa" hovering over my sexy male avie. ;) I list it though, mainly because I like meeting others who do the same and it does lead to very interesting conversation. My first life profile states I am a natural female. I don't feel everyone who switches genders needs to do this, however. It's just how I prefer to do it.

As far as why I play males here (and herms)...while biologically female, I do consider myself to be a mix of both genders in real life. I've got a very curious mind and love to explore things from all angles, so I experiment with my gender here.

My friends are all aware of what I do (Oh no there she goes again! Mo's a boy!), strangers are aware of what I do (if they choose to read my profile), and I do not pretend to be a real life guy or anything like that. In fact, my goth male looks so feminine, most don't even know what the hell he is to begin with. Yes, I do love androgyny!

*hugs to all*

Mo

I chose male playing male.

The person behind the keyboard is male.

The avs I play the majority of the time are male. I've been a female here and elsewhere before. I've never intended to present to others that I personally was a woman.


I don't see a male/female av as indicative of a man/woman player any more than I see a fox av as a indicitive of a antro fox player. I personally have never cared. People are here what they are here.

sure I understand what you are saying, but still, there needs to be full disclosure, I really see it as same as the issue of age.


There does? Really?

If you're buying an item of clothing from me, why in god's name does my RL gender matter? If I'm just asking you how you're doing at an event, why does it matter?

Sorry, but your insecurity does not necessitate full disclosure on the part of anyone else.

Female playing Female. Although I want to make a male avie, I just haven't had time. But my main will always be fem.

If you are a male playing a female OR a female playing a male...it is VITALLY IMPORTANT that you make this fact BLATANTLY OBVIOUS in your profile and/or interaction with others.
Why does it matter so much to you? It really only matters if there is intent to have a face-to-face relationship. Since I have no intention of doing that with anyone on SL aside from the partner I already have, it's really no business of anyone elses what my physical gender is.

Having said that, I DO state in my profile in the FL section that I am transgendered.

Well some ppl are not comfortable unless they know the true gender.. you can not demand understanding without giving it..

My two cents:

If you are a male playing a female OR a female playing a male...it is VITALLY IMPORTANT that you make this fact BLATANTLY OBVIOUS in your profile and/or interaction with others.

Not doing so places many people in positions that they may be FUNDAMENTALLY OPPOSED.

Would you give heroine to a 5 year old and tell them it was candy?

And YES...the comparison is VERY accurate.


Ooh, I'll get right on this.. Wouldn't want you thining I'm actually a 6'9" anthropomorphic Hyena in real life!

Oh, btw, want some candy?

Some people are FUNDAMENTALLY OPPOSED to having sex with fat people. What say we mandate RL weights in the profile, too?

I'm fundamentally opposed to having sex with fat bodies. And that goes for SL too. Luckily there are not many fat bodies in SL, and I don't give a damn what their bodies are like in RL.
