When I started roleplaying on FeralHeart, I did find this to be quite odd.
The more I roleplayed, the less it mattered.
I've actually made a male character of my own, something which I swore I'd never do. ^^'
I must say, it's actually quite fun.
It challenges your mind as well, in a way.

I see no wrong in 'cross gender roleplaying.' Not at all. :3

While I mostly RolePlay with female characters, for I am more confortable that way, I see absolutely nothing wrong with cross-gender RP-ers. I myself have a few male characters.

After all, in a RolePlay, you can be anybody you want. You're a girl who wants to see how it's to be a handsome man? Go for it! Nothing matters in a RolePlay, for it's supposed to be a creative way of showing our emotions, and such.

But bullying somebody for playing a character of the opposite gender? That's plain stupid.

I have never seen this kind of reaction before in-game. But I do understand where you are coming from, you don't have to be the same gender as who you roleplay with either way, It gives a more interesting view on the subject; but it definately doesn't determine what sexuality you are! And to thse who bully other users for this, are probably young minded in that sense, as typically younger people are more affected by genders.

I've never seen it as a problem before...

Anyway, I think that it's up to the RPer, just like it's up to the writer of a book, to decide what each character is like. There's no problem in 'cross gender roleplaying' at all to me; I in fact, do it myself, to make my characters more unique with their own different personalities. It would be boring if all my characters were the same gender.

When I first joined I didn't give this a whole lot of thought, but my first few characters were female anyway simply because I had more ideas for female characters than male ones.
Now my character list is all but dominated by the males, since I find them so much more fun to play as(and den-claimers react much more strongly to males if you're in the mood to troll a few ;D).

I never understood why people thought roleplaying as a character with a different gender determined your sexual orientation. I play as male, female, and genderqueer characters simply because I find it more interesting than having characters that are all the same. Luckily I haven't run into anyone who reacted really negatively because I did that.

I have many male characters, and I used to RP as them. It's nothing wrong in my opinion. 83

Even though I don't RP much anymore, I still pose as my male characters. Nothing wrong with it at all. People on SoE Cross-Gender roleplay, and heck, Kahara has a character who has a mate of the same gender in real life.

Doesn't mean homosexuality bros.

I see nothing wrong with cross-gender roleplayers, I'm one actually. When I first began to play Feralheart I always roleplayed with male characters, still do. I also have female characters which I also use in Feralheart. There's no point getting mad at cross-gender roleplayers because isn't that what roleplay is? Being someone you're not. Roleplay isn't sticking to one gender for the whole time, it's being different to who you are. It does not mean that roleplayer wants to be the opposite gender in real life, it doesn't mean that they are homosexual. Just relax and stop assuming so and that way both roleplayers can enjoy themselves. No one wants to put up with that annoyance when you are screamed at for roleplaying like this. In fact, there are lots of people who do this on tv shows, plays, performances and movies yet no one is complaining.

Short: There's nothing wrong with cross-gender roleplaying c:
