Hm, isn't this something?

1. Do you have a preference for your avatar gender and if so what is it and why and does it match your RL gender?

I actually do have a preference, but it doesn't match my RL gender. The reason why I use a male avatar is because of the way I write during serious conversations. No smilies/emoticons. No sillyness or "lol"s in a paragraph. It's just straight-up writing. I know the level of maturity here in Trisphee is high, but this is from my experience. The reason why I don't use a female avatar is because people have assumed I'm a guy just by my way of writing things and giving advice. They think that it's weird for a guy to use a female avi, so I caved in and from then on, I started using male avis.

The only way you can tell I'm a female is by the way I talk during casual talks. I will pretty much use smilies and say lol in almost every paragraph. I'll also be a huge worry-wart.

2. Do you have perception issues with gender identification in that if you are looking at a obviously male avatar you think you are talking to a male person and same with female? Or do you have a neutral perception?

I do have perception issues, but once I learn about a person's real gender, the perception is gone. I guess the word pertaining to me is more like, "assumption" rather than "perception."

3. Do you like to know the gender of the person you talk to online, for example here at Trisphee, or do you just not care about it?

I honestly don't care. If the person wants to tell me, they'll tell me. I have no issues with people withholding their rl gender.
