Nope, back when I played WoW Vanilla (and again in classic) I had the revelation - I’m going to be spending days running back and forth to get anywhere. If I have to stare at an animated ass running for days, then it might as well be an animated ‘female’ ass. 🙂 ---

Girly girl. Sad! I know. But I like shopping, make up, clothes, and me and my girls make a girls-dorm outta this house in minutes, when we come together. ---

This site has a lot of definitions of various genders and sub-genders and sub-genders to those sub-genders. And a lot of pretty flags. > **[LGBTQIA+ Wiki](https://lgbtqia.fandom.com/wiki/LGBTQIA%2B_Wiki)** ---

If I had known how complex some of you were going to make it I wouldn’t have asked. I was prepared for some, but not all, of the sexual orientations, though you will note, had you read the OP, that I didn’t _ **ask** _ for them because they are icky, but gender identity based on what video game you’re playing? ---

> [@dropzone](#): > > I was prepared for some, but not all, of the sexual orientations, though you will note, had you read the OP, that I didn’t _ **ask** _ for them because they are icky, Are you really saying that sexual orientations are “icky” or am I misinterpreting what I’m reading? I hope I’m misinterpreting. There’s nothing “icky” about sexual orientation. ---
