One's Gender is something that can influence how others treat you. However there's more to it than just one's physical appearance.
| Female |
| Hermaphrodite |
| Male |
| Neuter |
| Pseudo-hermaphrodite (One who has some characteristics of both male and female, but is not fully hermaphrodite, e.g. feminising testicular syndrome). |
| Variable between two or more. If you want to specify the various genders, include them in parenthesis after the ~, for example G~(fm) indicates 'I vary between female and male.' |
| Unknown - 'No dice! Cartoon characters aren't anatomically correct!' |
| |
| In transition between two types. You should indicate what you are changing from and to either side of the >. For example Gm>n indicates 'I am a male who is changing to a neuter.' |
| If you have a different gender, you can put it after the G in "double quotes". For example G"sex". |
| There are those who want to specify a different mental gender to their physical, in this case you use / to seperate the two with the mental gender going second. For example Gm/f indicates 'I am a female stuck in a male body.' |
Notes:
The Gender tag never appeared in the original Dragon Code. However there was a long and drawn out discussion on the Newsgroup which resulted in the two-part tag you see today.
