Gee, yeah, I make everyone on my role-playing MOO play their real life 
character. I gather info by extorting their therapists. I also require a 
signed document, a driver's license, and a copy of their birth 
certificate.

This is ridiculous... Why would anyone attempt (and obviously not 
succeed) to enforce gender? That defeats the point of a RP MOO, and makes 
a social MOO more hassle than its worth.

I think that playing a character of the opposite sex would be an amazing 
RP challenge.
