I'm also going to encourage folk to say their piece and then try not to keep repeating themselves just because others don't agree. This is a topic on which we simply aren't all going to see eye to eye, and in the end are going to have to agree to disagree. It's of course fine to ask follow-up questions on substantive new points raised, to answer if someone asks you a direct question, or to respond if someone has quoted and replied to a point you've made and you think they've misunderstood what you mean. But please recognise when you've made your view clear and help prevent this discussion going round in circles.

And also let's not get into how many different ways gender identity can be characterised. A gaming forum simply isn't the right place to discuss that, and while the fact that sexuality is far from a simple matter is relevant all we need is that general point so let's not get derailed by unnecessary side debates.
