I play World of Warcraft as a female but I have a male character as my alternate.
I'm thinking of creating a new main male character, but can't decide what profession I want.
Anyway, what's it matter? When I played Street Fighter II, I sometimes played as Chun Li when I was younger & could still work a standard controller.
I'm sure girls play as guy characters also, so it's no big deal.
