I'm glad everyone in my guild know me as "Trigo's brother"... otherwise, it would be awkward to play on my female Draenei Shaman when I tell them "I don't like talking in vent".

... mainly because I don't like talking in vent.

In my guild, something like 70% of the toons are female. But only about 40% of the members are female. Do the math... People don't even blink at a "girl" who's really a guy. Unless you're doing ERP or something, who cares?

There is a difference between playing a female character (I do) and telling people you are female.

My standard policy across all MMO's is that unless I have heard them in vent I treat everyone as male. Many Men Online Role Playing Girls.

My main is female and people I'm in vent with for the first time don't even care. It's not the big deal everyone always makes it.

The only problem we had was that "she" flirted with most of us often. Was very awkward.

theraptor, that's about the most sexist thing I've ever heard. I hate, hate, HATE people assuming I must be a guy because I play WoW. This is the 21st century, women do play WoW and other MMOs - build a frickin' bridge and get over it. I'm female and so are my characters, and people better not ask for "proof" over Vent (I talk on Vent in raids, but that's it). Grrrr.

*rant over* (sorry, but this is one of my pet peeves in WoW)
