Oh no! Not 1983's Ultima III: Exodus allowing choice outside the gender binary!

IDK, my interactions with people who played AD&D suggest that kind of thing wasn't exactly rare in RPGs at the time, even for cis people.

Edit: Reached out to a friend who played AD&D in the 80s, and it seems like attitudes toward roleplaying as genders other than your own varied from table to table, but it certainly wasn't a rare thing to see.

I played some pen and paper RPGs in the '00s and we boys played women characters all the time. Sometimes it was because "lol boobs!" and sometimes it was "I think this character should be a girl because all my other characters have been male."

Seems bizarre not being willing to play characters of different genders when you can play characters that aren't even human.

The main thing I remember being told about this from older dnd pals, was as long as people weren't doing it to be a creep, it's fine.
