Male Kanna maybe?

You can pretend to be Japanese, from the 16th Century, and have supernatural powers, but pretending to be female is too much to ask? I guess everybody's got their red lines.

But you can still be you and be Japanese and from the 16th century with supernatural powers (okay, maybe not Japanese). I mean, I guess I base a lot of my identity on my gender, even more so than other factors, like race, so it would harder for me to identify with a female character than say, a half dragon person from a different dimension, so long as that half dragon is male.

I don't really pretend to be my characters though, but I guess I expect them to at least be a reflection of who I am on some level, and not being female, it makes me uncomfortable if my in-game representative is a girl.
