Eh, gendering clothes ain't exactly my cup of tea. Rise above society's influence, wear whatever you want.

No reason to. Tha vast majority of people fit into the black and white if biological sex

A good tailor can fix that.

I wouldn't dress a male character in female clothing personally, but I know many people do. And IDGAF. They can do whatever they want with their character. I think most of them do it for the lulz, but it's possible some of them do it for aesthetic purposes or other reasons (I'm not going to get into a lengthy discussion about gender identity or societal gender clothing assignment or whatever - this is not the place for that).

As for how I play my "toons", whether they are an extension of myself, an RP character, eye candy, or just some pixels on a screen... my main is usually an extension of myself, and as such, is male. He's usually not particularly good looking, because I want him to look like me. I don't always play him exactly the way I would play, however... like when it comes to TG and DB; I can't see myself doing that kind of stuff (murdering and thieving and such) in real life, unless I was really desperate. But aside from a few minor transgressions, my main represents me.

I don't currently have any alts in ESO, but I have had alts in other games, and they are generally a mix of both male and female. My "secondary main" is usually female, and she represents my main character's significant other. Of course I make her aesthetically pleasing. My other alts usually represent friends or siblings of my main characters, and they are generally a mix of both male and female, each with their own storylines. Internal storylines, at least, since I don't actively RP with other players - but like many of the people who posted in this thread, I like to think that each of my characters has their own style, personality and back story. Yeah, I'm kind of nerdy like that.

But anyway, TL;DR version: lots of people dress male characters in female clothing. Lots of males play female characters. Not a big deal. Let people do what they want.

I prefer to mix mine with the jester personality because who really wants to get killed by a tiny wood elf in a bright blue dress who then prances away merrily afterwards! At this point I have gotten a lot of crowns from eso plus and I don't know what else to spend them on but crown crates. Eso makes it very clear through my items received in said crown crates that I should be wearing a dress and that my maxed provisioning and alchemy skill is not good enough.

My male nord wears a pink wedding dress. He looks great in it.

It's weird and it ruins my immersion, but whatever I played my fair share of MMOs and I know there are bunch of people that like doing it.

You don't have to let it ruin your immersion. Just imagine that they're other NPCs who are a bit "different".

Hmm, whats wrong with it? My main is a female, simply because i'd rather look at a good looking woman for hours and hours than some guy
No seriously, i have an equal amount of female and male characters and pick them according what looks better.

I imagine you have a hell of a time staying immersed in your real life then, people everywhere looking and acting differently than you think they should.
