Funny thing is, they never thot I could have been a female. Most handle it just fine but some of the male gamers are the ones to do a sudden change in attitude and treatment of me. That makes me smile. If they had never heard me speak nor asked my r/l gender things would have gone on the same fun way. Funny how that works.

You should fix your gender on your profile then. It says you are a 25 year old male named Alouisious

Are you talking about my friend Whitney who wrote the article about her experiences in World of Warcraft in The Escapist e-zine?
