I should have framed my question better.
The context is this:
Considering this is a such a small community, there seems to be an overtly active and loud Transgender community. Why is this? What attracts them to this game?
I think the roleplaying aspect mentioned in a few posts back would make logical sense to me. If you feel you 'don't fit, or what not' then roleplaying in an MMORPG might bring you some level of comfort as you're only a 'gender' choice away at character creation.
P.s. I don't personally agree with Transgenderism, I am more on the fence that it's a mental condition more so than a physical condition. i.e, it's not because they don't have the right body sex, it's more the mind causing them grief.... but I am not one to deny someone their freewill, nor would I berate someone who chooses to live their life differently when it comes to things like this.

Yes, and thanks.
I don't think having an elf alterego is a good solution, but a lot of people probably try it.
I did some use my elf time as an alternative, but less and less as time went on and I experimented with in person self expression.
I'm on the fence about what to recommend for others. You're certainly not wrong. I am ok with what I got out of transition, but I don't think I'll ever be satisfied or happy with that alone. I'll always want to be younger, healthier, prettier, but that's kinda normal as long as it's not an obsession regardless of how we express ourselves.
