A player in an MMORPG whose online character is the opposite of their real life gender. There are many different reasons cited as to why people gender bend.
1. Men may play female characters because they're treated nicer, receive more freebies and are invited to teams more often.
2. In player-vs-player environments, female characters are often seen as weaker, and some men may seek to exploit a psychological advantage over chauvinistic players.
3. Female players may create a male character so that they are more respected and taken more seriously, especially if they try to take on a leadership role.
4. A male player figures that if he must look at his character's butt the whole time, it might as well be a female one.
5. A desire to try out a different role in an anonymous environment.
6. Gays who wish to gain more sexual interest from their preferred gender.
7. Some men are feminist enough to genuinely enjoy creating powerful women characters.
8. A perverse pleasure in getting an unsuspecting heterosexual person of the same gender to pursue a relationship, only to spring the surprise on them later.
9. For some males (usually assumed to be sexually immature or frustrated), it's a method of dominating and controlling the female body.
Don't bother trying to chase girls in online games. You never know who's a gender bender.

A gender bender is a person who seeks to define gender expression outside of the binary terms of man and woman.
This person may express their gender in a variety of ways such as cross-dressing and not adhereing to stereotypical, traditional, and/or cultural ideals and practices for their gender.
The person often believes in the thought system of gender and sex being separate. A person can be one sex, but express a gender that is usually not associated with that sex.
May also use gender neutral pronouns such as ze and hir.
Explore the concepts of femininity and masculinity with freedom.
