I'm not trying to nit-pick, but wouldn't a treant have no gender as they are Plant types, meaning asexual reproduction? I guess the Treant could be effeminate, but not female specifically.
We were pretty much going by the Lord of the Rings deal, where there's Entwives lost out there somewhere, but in my world they have been found..LOL | |

I failed at not nit-picking, huh? I succeeded at my pick nit roll...[:o)]
Plants aren't asexual. They require fertilization from male to female plants in order to reproduce. That's what bees are for. | |

Unless plants have mutated since I was in 6th grade science (which they may have) plants have both male and female parts. Flowers, for example, have a pistil (female) and stamen (male) and bees help pollenization, but aren't required.
This conversation has turned into a "birds and the bees" talk.[:0]
Back on topic, I can't imagine gender being a problem in my games. Our primary gaming group is my buddy, myself, and our wives. My wife plays both genders, though her male character is a standard Fighter. He (character) is infatuated with my friend's wife's female druid. We all just look at it as an in-character thing and means nothing. I have also played female characters about 30% of the time. It was originally to accurately represent female pecentages among all male players, but I never saw it any different than generating a female PC for a video game. I play less females now because the wives are likely to make females.
On the other hand, my friend's wife doesn't like playing a male. Her only male character from another party is a satyr. (of all things to pick!) She plays the satyr as the ever-randy womanizer, but satyrs are supposed to be that way. I honestly think the male aversion came before the satyr, but playing a hyper-sexed character would turn anyone away from it. | |

That's not asexual, it's hermaphroditic. And while that holds true for flowers (most, anyway) this is not endmeic to all plants.
And who said anything about birds...
