ERA'SAE: That is an awesome story! Ha. Your poor friend. It's a compliment that people still thought he was a woman when he said that he wasn't, enough to speak about their female problems to him, but also very awkward.
So interesting! It seems like more female characters in MMOs are played by males than by females. In the MuDs I play, the female characters are almost always played by females.
I agree with what Niamh said. As long as there's no malicious intent behind choosing the opposite gender, then it doesn't matter what/who you play.
It's great to be able to explore different personas that are impossible to properly explore in real life.
I've been told by very womanly RPers (who were my friends at the time, and married to men) that I play killer guys, so I think that helped reinforce my decision to keep playing them.
It's not a conscious effort to NOT choose females... I just always go straight for the male. I also prefer storylines in movies, games, and anime that are propelled by a male for the main character and whoever (male, or female, or all) for supporting characters. It just appeals to me more.
