To be honest I disagree with your entire post and premise. There is a massive difference between specifying your preference in the [i]content[/i] of your RPs (which does include the gender or sexuality of your CHARACTERS) and restricting people on this site based on the player's actual [i]real life[/i] gender/sexuality/etc. 

You failed to give any example as to why preference in your partner's gender actually makes a difference. If I asked to RP with you, would you ask me my gender? If I turned out to not be a straight female would you actually refuse to RP with me? Why? Please explain why my gender actually affects the content of any RP we might create together. 

I am also waiting to hear how people actually verify the gender of their RP partners.
