Dearest ATGers, you may or may not have noticed, but my avatar has bewbs once again. My little pixel person was female when I joined the guild, although I'm not sure anyone remembers that.
Now I get to stock up on all the gloves and shoes and skirts and other items that haven't been unisexed yet. ^w^
As most of you know, I have absolutely zero interest in being a girl in real life, and I'm definitely not very fem-looking, either.
So guys. Open wide, it's spoon-feeding time!
-Have you ever had an avatar (or a mule) that was the opposite of your real sex? -Do you ever cross-dress your avatar? If so, how come? -Have you ever cross-dressed in real life? -Where do you feel you fit on the gender spectrum? -What do you think about the sex-change goldsink on Gaia? (60k for me to hop the fence next time!) -What items do you wish you could wear, but can't, since they're only for the opposite sex? -In real life, what clothing would you love to wear that's traditionally seen as belonging to the opposite sex? -What are the upsides or downsides to your specific gender/sex?
(Obviously you don't have to answer all those questions, I'm just making suggestions for discussion. sweatdrop )

Have you ever had an avatar (or a mule) that was the opposite of your real sex? No.
Do you ever cross-dress your avatar? If so, how come? No. I like to be a pretty fairy most of the time.
Have you ever cross-dressed in real life? No.
Where do you feel you fit on the gender spectrum? My sex is female. When people ask my gender I sometimes say "other." It's not because I am masculine, want to be a man, or anything else. It's just that I don't really get gender. The thing that defines men and women is basically what's in their pants. And my brain doesn't have pants. So I just feel like me inside. Even though I like to be a pretty fairy, I don't necessarily see that as a female only thing. I wouldn't really say, "Oh, I totally feel all womanly and like I have a v****a in my brain." It seems to me that gender relies too much on arbitrary rules about what men should be and what women should be. And I don't really want to be boxed in like that.
What do you think about the sex-change goldsink on Gaia? (60k for me to hop the fence next time!) I have never sex changed, so I don't really have an opinion.
What items do you wish you could wear, but can't, since they're only for the opposite sex? I have not run across any items that I wanted but could not wear.
In real life, what clothing would you love to wear that's traditionally seen as belonging to the opposite sex? None. Being a female is pretty easy in that aspect though, we're pretty much "allowed" to wear anything now.
What are the upsides or downsides to your specific gender/sex? Well, periods are not great. Childbirth isn't exactly fun. But being able to bond with your child by carrying him/her for 9 months and going through that pain is something that men can't fully experience.
Other than that, it's pretty arbitrary. I hate how certain toys, names, colors, clothes, activities, etc. are associated with one sex or another. As if the color blue was somehow related to a p***s and shaving your legs is somehow related to a v****a, you know?
So I'm female. I have breasts and a v****a. I'm a homemaker. I like both pink and blue. I wear both dresses and pants. I play "girl" games (like ponystars) and "boy" games (like WoW). I don't shave my legs. I prefer to think of myself as myself, as a person. I don't want what's in my pants to be what defines me. I think America places way too much emphasis on that.

-Have you ever had an avatar (or a mule) that was the opposite of your real sex? Nope. My avatar's always been a chick and I've never had a mule.
-Do you ever cross-dress your avatar? If so, how come? Not really? I put pants on her a fair amount but I've never made her look particularly manly. Though I suppose I could since I think I have some facial hair bits in my inventory...
-Have you ever cross-dressed in real life? Not really. Like Lorien said, we can pretty much wear whatever now. Though I do like wearing oversized shirts (they're easy and comfortable~)
-Where do you feel you fit on the gender spectrum? I'm a....chick? I'm not super girly (I'm too lazy to do s**t with my hair, I have like one pink article of clothing (excluding socks because socks are awesome), and none of my skirts are super short), but I'm not really boyish either (I have boobs and I will show them off every now and then).
-What do you think about the sex-change goldsink on Gaia? (60k for me to hop the fence next time!) Since I've never changed the sex of my avatar (hell the only thing I've ever changed on her is the hair and the skin (I went zombie for a bit a few Halloween events back)), I don't really have an opinion.
-What items do you wish you could wear, but can't, since they're only for the opposite sex? The only time I really came across this problem was when everyone dressed up like Jimmy that one day. >.>
-In real life, what clothing would you love to wear that's traditionally seen as belonging to the opposite sex? There's nothing in particular (but I do envy how comfortable guy pants look compared to girl pants (and their damn itty bitty pockets that can't fit anything)).
-What are the upsides or downsides to your specific gender/sex? Upsides: Um...I have boobs? Also, I totally used the fact that I was girl to my advantage in elementary (I picked on the guys and they couldn't hit me cuz I'm a chick =P). Downsides: Periods suck. They really really do. And little boys get better toys than little girls. And this is kind of a random aside (with Lorien mentioning how WoW is a 'boy' game) but the gaming industry totally thinks of us as the lesser sex >.> I understand that their core audience consists of men in their 20s and 30s or whatever, but still. Bleh. I'll shut up now.
