I’m sorry you had that experience, ugh! Yeah, gaming communities can totally get like that but I feel like that, unfortunately, comes with the territory. I’m glad you’re in better company now!

I used to play an MMORPG and whenever I said I was a girl there, there’d be douchebags around to call me a liar and accuse me of being a 40 year old man. So I stopped answering the gender question and for many years pretended I was a man lol. Then everyone thought I was gay… Which wasn’t entirely inaccurate. It’s a damn good thing writing communities aren’t so closed minded and douchebaggy. But now that I can be myself, gender has become more of a puzzle to me that I’m less eager to commit to. I’m a woman, but I like to keep my options open lol. 
All the fun people are a little cagey about something anyway. 

Because we all fret about how the Internet will perceive us?
I’m an old thing, so I don’t care anymore. I was already comfortable in my skin before the Internet was a thing. I rock my wenchness.
