Sometimes now when I join an MMO, I don't tell anyone my RL gender.

I think I did that for 1.5 years here. It worked ok for awhile, but it backfired and ended up bringing more attention to my RL gender than I wanted. The are you female IRL question was so horribly awkward to deal with that I decided to dodge it all together. Unfortunately, that normally benign piece of information is step 1 to forming any meaningful connection between people. Know who you're dealing with. As people we're scripted to interact one way or the other, depending on gender. I kinda threw a wrench in that with my silence, but so does my answer lol.
