That would be a matter of gender identity. If a person identifies as female, they're female. If they identify as male, they're male. Their physical biology has nothing to do with their sexual identity.

1) The proper pronoun is she.
2) Whether or not she is biologically female is does not matter, because sex and gender are not the same thing.
People like you are why the comments section on Kotaku are widely considered to be the dregs of the Gawker network. You should be embarrassed by this post, but I doubt you've got the capacity for it.
I once played a gay Troll Decker in a wheelchair in Shadowrun. It was meant as a practical joke to piss of my homo hating but muscle packed action star adoring friends, but turned out to be one of the more intense RPG characters I have played so far.
Why shouldn't you have options? Nobody's forcing you to pursue them.
I always play a devout Andrastian (real similar to christianity) in Dragon Age. I'm atheist in real life. You should try stepping out of your bubble some time and experience the world through another set of eyes, that's what "role playing" is all…
I want a Christian character
What you just said is like demanding pizza, eggrolls, and hot-dogs on a Taco Tuesday...
He's so edgy, can't you tell.
I seriously laughed at the original poster's list of things. You're right that half-elves are a part of lots of fantasy settings. So, incidentally, are religions that closely resemble Christianity in either worship of a single God, dogma, church structure, and so on. There are even notable characters with disabilities…
I don't understand the issue you're having with this.
I know! It is so annoying to be politically correct to acknowledge a wide variety of people exist! To not limit yourself to a very narrow definition of a person! To not be able to force a lack of diversity that isn't representative of how the world is anyways!
Right, because including a trans person (who quite obviously exist in real life) has to be some "PC" move and not just... because they exist. Haven't you ever heard about not punching down? I don't even care about this and I can see how stupid your post is.
That's not what I'm trying to argue; I'm trying to argue that joking about post-rape PTSD is wrong and that rape jokes are unfortunately far more accepted in our culture than jokes at the expense of individuals suffering from other forms of PTSD, but I slipped up in explaining that and I'm sorry for that. I apologize…
First and foremost, I'm offended on the part of people I know personally and care deeply about who HAVE suffered through rape and who ARE triggered by lazy, mean-spirited rape jokes virtually every day. My point about your "I know a couple of rape victims" comment wasn't "well YOU CAN'T VERIFY THAT," my point was that…
"Harmless" jokes wouldn't trigger PTSD in rape victims, so I'm not sure why you're asking for hard statistics on that.
This comment was originally just pointless snark, but I'm genuinely curious as to what, exactly, you thought was at all stupid about that comment. What's stupid about advocating sensitivity for those with PTSD by not making fun of violence/tragedy similar to what they've experienced?
I call false dichotomy. Communication is not a binary system, people. You can choose not to tell your joke under specific circumstances, or, in the case of a webcomic, place a trigger warning. Which is not the same as censorship. A recent example from my own life: our scheduled screening of the movie Four Lions didn't…
Murica!
That was my point. Arguing that "rape jokes are okay because we make fun of death too" is bad logic.
Murder is senseless and awful, but you also don't have to live the rest of your life with horrific PTSD, contemplating on a weekly or even daily basis if you should just end it all, if you're murdered.
