He or she... Which is it?! O.o;;

Depends on the doll. Currently, all of mine are distinctly male or female, although I'm itching to get a butch androgynous girl at some point. I guess that the doll in my avatar, Judice, is kind of androgynous, although she kinda spoils it by having large boobs and a tendency to wear skimpy clothes.

 

My dolls will either be male or female. I couldn't see changing their genders, because that would mean changing their personalities. Their personalities are important to me, and I wouldn't be able to just change them at whim. One thing that bugs me in shows is when the characters don't stay in character xD

 

I prefer a doll being one sex either its a male or its a female. but as for the dolls that have no sex its whatever you feel you want the doll to be.

 

Hmmm. Well I guess all of my dolls are one gender or the other. The only way they 'bend' gender is in their body molds:

Denny was originally a immature BB Sprite female. I had his face-up redone to be boy-ish because once I'd seen him I knew he could never be a she. But he still retains the 'girl' body because of convience. I know he's a dude & he does, so I didn't think I needed to trade in or buy a body with the 'proper' parts.

Toshe & Grath share a gender neutral body. Eventually they will both have their own bodies (which are molded gender-neutral) but Toshe is definitely a boy, and Grath a girl.

 

I enjoy having distinct, set characters. To me, when they are in my hands for the very first time, their little sculpt and eyes say everything I'll ever need to know. It's a little like a baby. You don't dictate the character traits of the child--They're just there upon arrival and yours to cultivate.

If the doll has dissociative identity disorder or is transgender and creates a very different persona of his or her preferred gender, then I can completely understand the switch-up; but I see it as thus: changing the innermost character was present in my Barbie games of yesteryear, my BJDs are one of a kind. Every BJD is. Even factory face-ups differ, then throw in all the customizations we've worked for and places we've taken them and people who've loved them and you have this tiny doll that will never be exactly the same as another.

We attribute so many human characteristics to non-human things; why not add just one more?

 

i dont know if this counts or not, since i dont have the doll yet, but im planning on a future doll who will be whomever i need her to be. i wanted a dollstown girl, and decided she will be a ghost. shell have a set character as a girl, but when i need a boy ghost, shell be a boy ghost....all my other dolls are either or (even Wyn is definitely a boy) but for some reason my future dollstown girl gets to be both

 

UGH!!!

This was a major pain in my butt... I had originally gotten Akira to be a girl... a boyish girl but still a girl... After a while... she started to lean more towards being a boy so I sold her girl body and got a boy body for him.... once that happened everything seemed fine for a while...

After a bit though... He started to become more of a she again... (x_x)... So I gave up... I'm currently saving for a volks yugiri body because... Akira really can't make up her mind. The character has now officially become gender confused and so now if you call her a him... that's fine... if you call him a her... that's okay too. Poor thing is now doomed to forever wallow in the confusion over his/her gender.

One thing is for sure... The character is now much more interesting than he/she was.

All my other dolls have a definite sex though. Even if they may be a pretty boy or a boyish girl or very androgynous... they still have decided genders.

 

My boy could be a girl. He looks like a girl, and dresses like one. All my friends call him a "Shim". xD

 

I have a girl, so her gender rarley gets messed up, but my friends Bory model, bless him, he's always being asked the infamous "What's her name?!" question.

 

I make my each of dolls one gender. However, my boy looks kind of feminine^^

 

I only want my doll to have 1 sex...

 

Almost all my future dolls with be one sex. However, I do have one character doll who will have a girl's head on a boy body (and I'll have to make her some fake boobs). Lamish is special. ;D Born male, feels female in personality but doesn't feel it necessary to get that big operation. *Shrug* The best way to express that, I think, is to get a slightly masculine girl sculpt and stick it on a boy body.

 

My dolls are characters, and each is definitely set in his/her gender. There's the possibility I might choose to have a very androgynous boy at some point, but he'd still be a boy (and probably not wear actual dresses, just clothes that could go either way). Of course everyone I know will assume he's a girl, I know!

I can't imagine having one doll be more than one character, unless it was a multiple personality thing, or maybe a stage persona or something - but still the same character. I'm having a hard time considering having two dolls share a body even! They just have so much personality built into them.

 

One sex... But I CAN cross-dress him! ;D

 

Hear ye, hear ye.

I'd prefer my dolls to have a set gender, given that the body shapes are different... but perhaps little/mini dolls can be androgynous. Also, my boys tend to look quite feminine as well, so I guess they're half and half either way. xD

 

My Shin is most definitly a boy, he's a mans man, who looks ridiculus in a dress and likes to go topless.
I am planning at least one gender neutral doll, because of the character that doll will be portraying.

 

Mine looks like a chick. And since Mana most of the time looks like a girl but is a guy underneath, I make him like Mana and he looks like Mana lol

 

Haha, I don't like boy dolls so all my dolls are one sex, the same forever and all the same one XD. I don't like them to change the personalities too, when I get a doll I give her, her own personality and she acts and dress as she is .

 

My dolls do have pretty strong personalities so I do keep them as they came to me.

 

I'm forEVER being asked "THAT'S a guy!?" on Nicco, since he favors slender form fitting clothes and at the moment, has long hair. But he's definitly male right down to his happy trail and short 'n curlys.
