About creating an alt of the other gender. I have a friend that did that, he's heterosexual ( as far as I know LOL) but he seemed to be more happy in his female account.
The strange thing is that he got more friends, people liked his female av a lot more than the alt he created to be more similar to his RL self. That made him quite sad.
When he finally came out to his
SL friends (me and a few others already knew) It was a bad experience for him. He didn't tell me much about it, but he lost most of his friends and in the end he closed down the female account and he doesn't use the male one a lot either.
Before he closed down the the female account he asked his
SL friends (those who were left after he came out) if they wanted to get in touch outside
SL (chat, email or such) but most of them declined.
It's sad that people can be so cold. I mean he was still the same person as he was before they knew he was male in RL.
