I've always played as female characters in fighter games, ever since the pre-teen me realised that spamming Chun-Li's kicks was a good way of repelling the teens trying to kick me off the arcade machine with their pesky challenges. Nina from Tekken is pretty fab too, and gotta love the wincing when she does her Bad Habit move.
Well, 15 isn't enough, which is partly why it might be good to cool it with the poll.
I think sexuality is a vector of gender and it's firmly linked due to the way society oppresses the entire 'community' as it were. Transphobia and biphobia may have separate elements but they're strongly related to homophobia and people who experience those inevitably experience homophobia as well unlike the variety of other oppressions.
