I'm not sure what you're saying... your post did indeed include the term "transgender people?" o_O
But, uh. Back to the less confusing original post. This isn't a new epidemic and I have probably a light novel of examples I've encountered myself. As others have said, communication is key. Often blurring IC/OOC can be done unintentionally, it's a miscommunication or the role-player is newer and doesn't realize it's taboo or really know yet how to make a character independent from themselves. To some newer/younger players RP isn't about making a separate character, it's about inserting yourself into the game as an attractive, bad-ass person with cat ears, so they don't even really understand what role-play is to most of the community. If you talk to them about the problem and nothing changes, then, well... that's how you know who to avoid.
