I used to think my desire to play female characters was a "closeted trans" thing. It's not. I'm definitely a cis gendered male. I've realized, at least for me, it's more of a self worth thing. I don't want to play as something I don't particularly like, such as me, and so I play something as opposite as possible. I'm working on that, tho.

Yeah, I was wondering that until modern games started changing voicelines to reflect the characters' gender.

The moment Drifter referred to my hunter as "Sister", all those doubts were cured.

Ever since the appearance modding system went in, my Hunter's been pretty genderfluid - I tend to swap from male to female depending on how I feel that day.

Oh yeah, I've quit the game for good by that time.
