I'd avoid unfair generalizations like that, if at all possible, especially since it's hard to place the context without a quote. I'd hate for those who are gender equality/human rights/LGBQT activists to think that their work is being belittled by an attempt to make them out to be only interested in spoiling everyone's fun, or at least not at ever enjoying their own free time (which I'm sure they have) with a game of Munchkin or two.

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.

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

At the start of the game - before the player gets his cards? Or he can check his starting cards and then choose gender for character?

Whichever your group prefers. We're in the realm of house rules.

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