There, after a bit of delay I have posted once again. It is passable at best, but eh, what can I do - at least I found a moment to catch up and make up for my lack of posts. Besides, me being out of country is not a lasting condition; my availability should improve immensely after that. And indeed, I am female as can be concluded from the fact that I can conveniently use my hips as elbow-rests and other anatomical particularities, and for the matter also identify as a woman ("girl" is a term I reserve for people who haven't finished puberty yet, and suffice to say, I am quite a bit past that ... similarly, I won't typically call a twenty-something or older man a boy, either). - I am not entirely certain whether I just act and speak (or type, as is the case) in a manner that is closer to what is more likely to be interpreted as stereotypically "masculine" or that many people just tend to default to male (NewSun wouldn't by far be the first person I've met to state something like that), but it seems to be a fairly common mistake for people to make. (Though, I've seen people state they don't use their true sex just because they're afraid it will change people's attitudes towards them... Never have had any issues with that myself, even where people plainly know what sex I am.) I have also noticed that I am one of the few women out there who dares play female characters who are necessarily neither cute nor beautiful, my character in this RP probably included. She is supposed to be kind of average-looking, I suppose, more endearing than anything else; then again, I mostly just have a kind of mental image of her, and being heterosexual myself I am also a terrible judge of feminine beauty... My best chance is probably just drawing a picture according to my mental image and just asking random male friends and acquaintances what they think. (On more random note, she is probably the most submissive RP-character I've made in a long time... For now, anyway.) Coming back to the original topic - what bobert said actually quite reflects my opinion on the recent wave of all kinds of sex- and gender-related topics. More often than not, I just wish they did away with all that rampant finger-pointing and just treated everyone like a human being.
