Note: it's the character that must be of one gender or the other, not the player. Even if you were playing with the One-Eyed One-Horned Flying Purple People-Eater, it would have to choose its character's gender.

If I was to play with the transgender people I know I would simply say straight up for the purpose of the game your character starts of as male or female which would you like to be? If they repeatedly answered neither I would tell them they can just watch then. I say repeatedly because they would say neither as first. One of them I suspect would repeatedly say neither but they have always been like that and I would never invite them to a game. |

For the next bit, I'm not going to bother with gender issues as far as pronouns, I'm just going to go with English grammar as I was taught it *cough cough* years ago. As far as the topic goes, I'd agree: The game is designed around the character having one gender. If the player wants to put himself into a position of indicating a dual gender situation, then I'd allow him to decide his character's gender at the start of the game. However, at least in my experience (which is not inconsiderable at this point), a male-to-female transgendered person typically wants to be seen and treated as female, and a female-to-male transgendered person wants to be seen and treated as male and probably wouldn't try to make it a complicated issue. |

Re: Transgender Munchkin?
perhaps it sounded wrong 'cause of language barrier, but wasn't meant to be offensive.
I could debate about isms and how they fight for everything they care but equality but that was not the point, and I'm sorry it sounded like that. Feel free to edit/delete it |

Re: Transgender Munchkin?
Whichever your group prefers. We're in the realm of house rules.

Re: Transgender Munchkin?
Ask the Tournament Organizer and follow her instructions. It's not addressed in the rules because it only rarely comes up.
