Would it be allowed for a player to play a character of the opposite gender?
As far as I know, there is nothing in the rulebook expressly forbidding character gender-bending, and this is a game that encourages us to "be all you can't be". If we can play a dozen different races that don't exist in real life, I don't see the problem with a female player playing a male character or vice versa.
Yes, there is the potential for confusion as to the character's gender IG, but a quick "what do I see?" could remedy that. What are your thoughts on the subject? Should a player ask permission from the chapter where they're playing before creating such a character? Would you (honestly) feel uncomfortable interacting with such a character?
