Genderbending

Threshold is focused on roleplaying and one of the fun things about a fantasy RP environment is you can be something different than yourself in real life. This may include your sex, gender, or your sexual or gender identity. This is completely allowed and fully supported here.

If you are playing a character of a different "gender" (as a game mechanic concept, see: help gender) than yourself in real life, and you want to engage in relationship or sexual roleplay with someone, you may want to have an OOC conversation with that person so they have an opportunity to consent.

This is completely up to you. There is no pressure from the administration to disclose anything about yourself to anyone. We do know from experience that sometimes people can be upset and feel deceived if the person they are engaging in relationship or sexual RP with is of a different gender or sex than their character. So please bear that in mind.

Some people use the describe command to add to their OOC that they are a genderbender = an old gaming term that at the time of this help file's writing is not known to be considered offensive or a slur.
