For instance, female to female "he is cute.. rawr.." is fine, but "ohhh... aren't you a cutiewutie" is self-explanatory.
Even worse is when they have a quite neutral name or an effeminate name, but they have a picture of a female character as their avatar. Everytime theFlax had that french princess, I was just tempted to think of him as a french princess.
