Oh my god pronouns. I have a genderless character that I have no idea how to write for...uhm...I wish I could give advice, but I'm pretty clueless on the subject. (English is so annoying. I love languages that don't require genderspecific pronouns.)

I guess it depends on you experiences...I for one don't jump to the automatic "chicks with dicks" thought, but I've also written/roleplayed some weird situations. (i.e. a man in a woman's body in a relationship with another man. Male pronouns, female body parts.) Personally I think it's all about making your character feel human. If they're witty and engaging, etc, people are going to forget the stuff they're conflicted about after a while.
