/for gM is a girl, despite her sharply-pressed men's clothing, firm desire to be regarded and treated as a proper gentleman, and occasional false moustache/
Out of curiosity, are you saying that gM is biologically female and identifies as female or biologically female and identifies as male (a gentleman) or something else entirely? Not that it's my business, but still. Talk about the last person in the universe you'd want to get caught using the wrong pronouns with!
Also, is it true that gM managed to actually get that one carapace your had to bring all the love letters to on Derse to make an actual reply? I mean, wouldn't that make the quest non-repeatable, at that point? But also, sounded so cute.<3

It is probably true with these Carapace Roma and Julian lovebirds.
and also GM identifies as GM. She is a true Gentleman, end of the story.

To be honest, I have no idea.
I mean, uh. Transgendered people want to be understood and perceived as their mental/spiritual gender, right? So...I don't -think- she is a transman. Augh I am bad with this lingo. Is that the right word?
And the former sessionmate of mine that had met her said that she was comfortable with female pronouns. But also, there had been another player at the time, in the session, that had decided that if GM was going to dress like a man, act like a man, and refer to herself as proper gentleman, then obviously you're a fucking man in a woman's body, so that guy called GM 'he' through the whole session, and as long as he wasn't snide about it, GM didn't seem to mind.
So, uh. I think the morals of the story here are, 'GM is confusing, it's most important to be respectful and not cause a fuss about people's gender or sexuality nonsense, and anyone can be a gentleman or a lady, because it's about how you act, not what you were born with or identify as."
Edit: Yeah, Space Cadet beat me to it. It is probably easiest to think of GM's gender as 'gentleman.'
((To step out of character, I like to leave the issue of GM and gender deliberately ambiguous. Interestingly enough, it appears to be one facet of her character where she won't insist upon or impose a single vision. Possibly she comes off as more masculine versus feminine-in-'drag' based on what class she's playing. I have no idea, I don't need a clear answer, and I'm just spinning off IDEs at this point.
Ross doesn't know, he's never met her, and is a little bit off-balance by the lack of obvious gender binary. Additionally, he's operating off the second-hand information of enturbulatedOccupation, who cared for the issue even less than GM did, and had other priorities.))

@vp: I don't think all transpeople want the same thing, but generally I think you're pretty safe just accepting that people are what they say they are, regardless of what's going on in their pants. Asking (politely) usually works. If she uses female pronouns for herself, then that works for me. (OOC: Yeah, I hear you. And I think the way people are handling gM's gender is cool <3. Just, you know. It's the sort of thing that aA (who has some gender issues of hir own) would find interesting. Sie couldn't NOT ask, not if it was possible someone so awesome was also genderqueer! Sie just HAD to. Lol.))

I... I think she's managed to somehow minorly transcend her physical body. She's still IN it, but it's like she has a minor presence all across every universe. I remember it like it was yesterday, I got pissed off at that prospitian chef that gives you the aliminator and was going to start yelling, but then I felt this GLARE.
It wasn't even from one direction, I just felt this pure aura of DISSAPROVAL and ANGER. It was like I was getting this "Don't you dare" look from EVERY DIRECTION. I just kept quiet, and remained perfectly genial the rest of the conversation. It scared the CRAP out of me.

No, that sounds about right from the Prospit chef. He does that occasionally.

I think the scariest thing about the book is that it has the same code in every single session. Can you think of anything that acts that way outside of incestuous frog shenanigans (and even those aren't reliable)? You know you're dealing with scary powers when they can make SBURB consistent. I don't think even void glitches have ever messed up the book, both from experience and word of mouth.

Woah. Could someone please send me that code? The FAQ hasn't gone live in my timestamp yet.

Not to sound like I'm uncultered, but shit, these stories of gM are amazing!
I think I need to change my Chum Handle from graveMusic so I don't get others confused on which gM is being addressed.
...
Nah, that sounds like I would care.
I really want that Captcha code, though.
Would it be wrong to assume the code is "Manners!"?
I wish to upgrade my Flaming Bach Yoyo with gentlemanly powers. I am pretty sure I should remove the fire first, though, don't want to burn the book.

As a horrorterror of the Furthest Ring, it is my/our/Our/Y' decision to express our and the rest of the Other population's absolute terror at gentlemanMannerism and her incredible unyielding skill at the finest and most polite gentlemanliness.
She is quite possibly the only anything ever that Sburb could never permakill. I have not seen her in the dreambubbles, whether that's because her doomed selves and dreaming godtiered realself are well aware of how much we're sincerely and severely afraid of her and politely keeps to areas we do not constantly probe for our sakes, or because she keeps performing dreamself assimilate-into-alpha and sleeps as a formality, not because she has to, is knowledge I am not privy to if anyone but the omniscient and she alone is.
She is the master of etiquette par excellence, and from what I have heard every Aspect in all its Whisperings and actions loves her, and the Denizens themselves cower at her coming. This is probably how her book violates Sburb's rudeness itself with the traces of her sheer awesomeness alone because Void can't bring itself to erase the information and after some cosmologically-rending shenanigan it probably got hardcoded into Sburb itself just through one piercing don't-you-dare and the blessings of Rage's code editing. Seriously, she could probably destroy the omnipotent debug NPC if it decided to off itself by being unforgivably rude to her face and challenging her to a duel. White and green animal, boom done for.
The angels themselves would flee at her crossing the gates, and I bet every Clockwork Contrivance she opens is the disapproval-edging-on-sadness towards someone's gross violations of the laws of decency and etiquette, and when she descends into the Underworld for questing's sake, the angels will never dare touch her because she could kill them all in an instant and the hivemind knows it.
I heard from someone who talked to one of the Middling Gods that the Noble Circle of Horrorterrors would immediately bestow upon her at least pretty high nobility just for asking to join the Others, and if she actually decided to do anything she'd probably get elected Supreme Leader of the Noble Circle as fast as P'Shorshasa could call a discussion. Without even actually having to be corrupted or anything like that. We've seen the bubbling-plane-dominion that is reserved for her and it's a pretty nice estate. I am pretty sure she was able to completely decorrupt someone with a stern look alone, though that is unverified. If she actually spoke she could probably immediately cure a Speaker of the Furthest Ring or Singer of the Infinite Choir without even having to do anything more than a lecture on why the Speaker/Singer in question needs to stop and a thorough verbal chastisement of the Emissary/Emissaries or Angels pulling the strings in the process and the player directly for getting that corrupted in the first place.
She is the blessing of Jenna Herself on replayers condemned, the wrath, love, and justice of countless divinities wrapped up into one maiden of pure, unrelenting, badass, impressive gentlemanliness on this game of universes and planetary annihilation.
Yeah, she's so awesome even the outer gods are afraid of her.
...Also, she is capable of physically slapping diseases out of people. Even game diseases. Like, seriously, she can slap the rangoon out of people's brains. tungstenTinkerer was not kidding during the stop-posting-with-rangoon notice.

What's this? I see the resident Waste of Hope and her Heir of Time matespirit have brought something back from the Dreamlands.

I thought I was going to run into her in my last playthrough, but it instead turned out to be a male troll Waste of Rage player killer with Phrenic Phever. After all but one of our other players had to get the kiss of life, he got caught in our Rain player's Knell. And then we had to deal with his Apocryphal Antithesis. Turns out though, that it was a decent fellow, oddly enough. It was after all that that we realized his tag was gentlemanMannerisms, with an S at the end.
This doesn't have much to do with the real GM, who I hope to meet, but watch out for imitators. I'm sure if those two ever meet, the troll will get an earful.
