          On the other hand, pretending that one is a klingon, elf, knight,
          wizard, vulcan, etc. will make most people uncomfortable around you
          in the real world -- but these things are generally perfectly
          acceptable in many virtual worlds.
          
          So the question is: why is it more OK playing, say, Everquest, for
          me to pretend I'm a *male* elven wizard instead of a female one?
