The "Who's Really a Boy?" Game

[kateamdahl]

I admit, I sometimes play the "Who's Really a Boy?" guessing game. That's a bad name for it: I should really probably call it the "Whose First Life Self Is a Man?" game, but that doesn't have the same sparkle

just a boy/girl thing

I'm a guy that primarily walks as a woman in world. To be honest I don't consider myself Transgender (It's a fantasy but I doubt I'd ever go farther than MAYBE occasional crossdressing). The biggest reason for me is the fact that I started in sl as a guy and frankly I wasn't enjoying it. I found it hard to "denoob", it became quickly apparent that I would be better able to support myself inworld as a girl (just too broke atm to spend rl money into sl, and I was meeting all the same kinds of people I would've met in rl. Mostly gamers and sci-fi geeks that got into stupid arguments(Kirk vs Spock, Halo vs Doom etc.) I almost left sl out of frustration with it's sameness.

I decided to try sl as a girl before I gave up on it. I found almost instantly that it was a lot more fun for me. I didn't have to just be ME (though she IS almost frighteningly close to my rl persona sometimes). I liked dressing up and having guys hit on me, even if I didn't intend for it to go anywhere.

Just for the record I AM rather model like in appearance but I can blame my first online gf/mistress for that one. I had a slightly more realistic shape (I thought) and she made my current one. I still wear it because nothing else looks right anymore.

I wear dresses, and skirts 95% of the time and heels 100% but a large part of that is cuz I think it simply looks better than painted on jeans.

I have had relationships and/or one night stands with several avs of both genders and simply don't care what they're "true" gender is. If they want to reveal that then fine but I never ask and neither have they. The few people in sl that DO know my true gender have told me that if they hadn't known they wouldn't have been able to tell(though they could always be blowing smoke up my butt. lol)

Simply put it's better to just treat people as whatever gender they choose to present themselves as. It saves a lot of stress and makes things funner.
