If she says no to verification or voice, it creates doubt in my mind, and why would I deliberately want to ruin the fantasy?

A gender is not something we can choose when we're born, but in SL, people have the opportunity to choose. I've seen some people who aren't their RL gender, but gender doesn't amount to jack s**t. Character counts. Want to be a pervert? Be that way. Want to portrait yourself? Fine by me. Want to crossdress? Sure. In SL people have the chance to be accepted as someone different. Our bodies aren't in the game, but our mindsets are. Liking a person in SL is not the same as liking a person in RL. It's your second life, their second life, anyone can mess around as they like. One really likes someone, does information about their biological physical form matter? Not really. Only their online self really matters. I don't know about you folks, but I'm pretty sure many of us look worse in RL. Cyber rape? That's one of the most ABSURD things I've ever heard of. Marrying a man when being a lesbian calling that rape? Even more absurd. Last I checked, unless you people have changed it, the definition of rape includes a lack of consent. WILLINGLY marrying a person was consensual last I checked. No one in the article was forced! This case is just another dumb complication in the SL world's morality. Screw it.

Silly suck lifer don't you know every female avatar there's a hairy beer-belly basement sucking man behind it? I guess you all like sucking the wiener now. Enjoy the pixel AIDS! @Jo

If SL lesbians want relationships with RL females RL is the place to do it. In SL a female avvie is a female in my book. A female avatar is a female avatar.

In SL a female avvie is a female in my book.

I am male and portray one in Sl. I have often wondered what if the "female" I am emoting with is a guy? How would I feel? Well after reading this....I have come to the conclusion that I DON'T care! If they can play the part well enough to keep up in the RP so be it. I after all think intelligent and envolved RP is the best part of SL. C'est la vie.... keep it Real....or keep it SL....up to you.

I've been stung too on SL by women who were really men.....in all fairness it generally doesn't take too long to tell.. . . . .but I also know men whose only expression of their feminine side is in the virtual world. Like Alex Bernstein or Bunny Bennett, they're not gay, but they think like women, feel like women, and aside from some really invasive surgery, SL is one of the few places they can BE women. I also know a few women who portray as men on sl. At what point is this just being who you are and at what point is this being dishonest? I don't know. I think if i had a relationship with another woman on SL and it turned out to be a man, i might feel hurt and betrayed. But on the other hand, if i truely felt I knew the person, i might know anyway, and it might be okay. I dunno. We are very sloppy and complex creatures, aren't we? I don’t know how I feel about this.

What i think is funny is that some of these hetro males are hitting on each other. As far as how to out a male i dont want to say as then they will learn how to be smarter.
