It's 2016, why are we assuming gender?

[Reiloth]

The nice subset of that (perhaps unforeseen) is that when you overhear people shouting or talking from another room, they might have different 'sounds' to their voice.

If you want to play someone that looks like a woman but has the plumbing of a man or the plumbing of a woman but looks like a man, write your desc as your primary gender and then put in your background what biological gender you were born as.

Genderfluidity ftw.

I generally don't post, but was moved enough to say:  thank you, thank you, thank you for advocating for this in a graceful and articulate way.  I have "skin in the game" myself, and it's really quite amazing to not feel like I need to shut up and grit my teeth.  I came because of the RPI and setting; I'm staying because of the depth of RP and the chance to explore things in a game-world that are impossible IRL. 

And this:

This is a complicated subject, but one that can be discussed civilly. With that in mind, players are more than welcome to portray any character they like.

is a wonderful thing to read, and know that that's an official staff position.  In fact, I have to say all my interactions with the staff around gender identity/pronouns/fluidity have been similarly positive and supportive.  For a 20-year-old game, Armageddon, you're sure growing up nicely. ;-)

Wish I read nergal's post before responding in the other thread. I think it's a fine policy.
