From the official CoH boards.
A poster called AmazingMOO has written something about his experiences RPing a transgender character, and the reactions other players had to it. I believe he was trying to explore transgender issues, and attitudes towards them.

(It isn't mentioned in the thread, but the writer is a married man, if it makes any difference)
I mention this because...it's a pretty thought-provoking piece of work. Interesting.
But I'm also referencing this here... to share what another player (Ripcord) posted in that thread. Something that...frankly floored me. Ripcord shared a screenshot, and discussed their own character exploring similar themes.
I was thunderstruck by the sheer artistry in Ripcord's character bio, and the amazing work with the character creator. Truly a brilliant costume. But SO SO WRONG, DAMNIT, JUST WRONG.
