my character has a gender, please use it
Dear Sunday D&D group.
You've all been lovely. Lovely. The lack of that douchebag makes this game so much more enjoyable.
But. I've been playing this male character for months and months and months now. Really. MONTHS. I know that he's gender-neutral in appearance, but I constantly tell you he's definitely male gender. He's also a six foot tall figure in full plate armor. I shouldn't have to keep specifying that he needs masculine gender pronouns when you refer to him.
Why the fuck do you all keep calling him 'her' and 'she'?
What's really enraging? A guy in the same group plays a female character and no one has any problems referring to his female character as 'she'. And if someone does slip slightly and he corrects them, NO ONE rolls their eyes or makes a snide comment about how it's not important.
I don't want to blame it on sexism, but it's reeeeally starting to look like it.
