I'll start by saying that I don't identify with either gender. Usually I just say I am genderfluid because to explain how I really feel about gender would longer than most people have time for.
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 fluctuate between a male and female avatar randomly. Right now, I think my avatar is technically female, though it could easily be switched to male with little difference.
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?
Sometimes I begin to imagine the person I am talking to as if they look just like their avatar. So in that sense, if your avatar is a male, I might imagine you as that male. In the end though, it doesn't make a difference to me if I'm wrong. It's not like my perception changes if someone I thought was a woman is actually a man or vice versa. It's a trivial difference.
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'm not interested to know the gender of the person I am talking to. It's irrelevant to me.
