I was just getting to the fact that someone who identifies and presents themself to the world as a man lacks first-hand access to the experience of being a woman, and that's a pretty big barrier to presenting that experience with a high degree of accuracy through RPing unless you're careful and meticulous about how you do it.
I'm on the other side of the fence though. I'm a woman who almost exclusively RPs straight men, but I hardly know what it's like to be a man IRL. However, I don't think being the gender and experiencing what they have in the roles of society would really make either side better at writing and RPing their characters. Quite often, I've had people express surprise that I am a woman after rping with one of my characters because I'd like to think I RP a pretty convincing man.
Am I at an inherent disadvantage in your eyes because of my sex?

is like strong independent warrior queen and her tourettes-ridden father with a drinking problem.
