THis way a person can explore a gender from the safety of a "game" and not be subjected to the judgemental attitudes of society at large. No one calls you "fag" or "dyke" because your playing a character of the opposite gender. Try getting that same level of respect on a city street if you try it for real.

But can you really explore it that well in an RPG?
I don’t know, since I’ve only ever played male characters,
But I should think you need a really good D.M.
And you need to tread lots of psychology books as well, and biology books as well and everything.
