I got that ccp email as well
Sometimes I join the Women Gamers channel, it can be fun to have just girls in chat.
I don't see why an all girls corp wouldn't work, certainly not due to a lack of experience.

You know I think that's a vrey interesting problem. I think basically no, and most TGs wouldn't be interested in it either since they want to fit in with the desired gender - and they often won't accept that. Example is the groups requiring TS (teamspeak, ;)) for "gender validating purposes"... I guess it all boils down to the fact that people are just not prepared to let in a TG into their gender community.
Thank you for the response Leyli! ( I didnt know someone knew the term, but I was teasing to find someone )
You are right about TG's and not liking to fit in a specific "box"(But I never really feel 50-50)..and that is the problem too...I am in a corp, with men ( where some know "me" and most are respectful ) and its difficult to fit in well, it doesnt feels good when called "mate" , "dude" or, occasionally only, being made sexcistic remarks. It really turns me off. So I seek every occasion to express my female side, which is strong. With this topic I know I cant join a girl channel because I dont like to lie and deceive, but I think you understand that even EVE is a game, I feel left out
TG's are rare in gaming( luckly one contacted me after a smiliar topic ) but I happen to like gaming(Eve, Warcraft, Spellforce, RomeTW etc)...just as I like my more, what people see as, feminine traits
I might sound too serious( ) but I like an part of myself, somehow, in a game
Ok, blahblah is over

Hi again Mercurye 
I understand what you feel completely. After all it is rather tempting to immerse into a game and be what you want to be to other people who cannot get the preconceptions they otherwise would (in real life, I mean) - but I can also relate to you feeling deceptive just joining an all female channel. I can only hope that some day these barriers aren't necessary and that you and other TGs will be accepted whole heartedly for the persons they are.
About TGs in gaming - they are not that uncommon at all. I think that exact thing - being able to project ones personality into text without having people judge you by your appearance is very tempting in many ways to TGs. Most just do not ever tell about it, simply because they would get the regular "OMG u'r a guy pretending to be a girl WTFBBQ!" response.
Strangely enough, F->M TGs (TS's especially) seem to adapt into their role much more easily in game and real life as well. This is probably because of certain biological traits making that way "simpler" regarding "external appearance."
Anyway, chat me up sometime, or I will chat you up. Leeli (and Leyli Kmal) in game. Best of luck!

I know there is a Portuguese girl playing EVE, and no Team Speak needed to assure you that because we had a small gathering here in Lisbon. We even had one guy coming from Netherlands.
Small Lisbon "Fanfest" dinner and chating held in a regular restaurant, i still remeber the people on the other tables looking at us and thinking:
"WTF are those guys talking about??? Ninja mining??? Tachyion beams? BCU's??? PDUs??? Warp??? WHAT??? SMART BOMBS??? RUN!!! THEY MUST BE ALQAEDA!!!!!" 
wtf? Aelius is tuga?  now I realy need to go to such mini-fanfest in Lisbon
oh and yes, there are girls playing in EVE. I know of at least a few ones in my corp and alliance.

Hi, I've been playing EVE for a while now. I'm not bothered about men versus women, but sometimes change is good. I'm not bothered about an all Female TS channel, but an all girl Corp...thats something different. I too received an email from CCP pointing me towards this thread. You have factions fighting against eachother, why not gender? Amazonians versus the Romans....seems kinda cool.
In the end, its only a game, and whilst some cant agree on the rights and wrongs of an all girl Corp, I think its a good idea, and a good idea in a universe full of diversity, wars and political struggle, why not? Just play the game and enjoy! I certainly am....

Since the mail was sent out me and Feline has gotten several mails and convos. I¦m really happy to see there are so many girls in EVE wanting to talk to other girls. We have had several addition to our chat channel today and its really awesome
But this wont stop us, anymore girls wanting to join the channel feel free to contact me or Feline Ferocity.
Make sure you have a mic and TS installed.

Why do people feel they must gather only one type of sex together in order to have a good time playing an online game?
I think maybe some of these women have gender issues.

I don't think it's necessarily that we *have* to gather all the girls together to have fun, as has been proven by the fact that, with some few exceptions, the majority of the corps are all male or predominantly male, and chicks still play the game :P I think it's a matter of having the female mmorpg'er community be coherent in some way, which is partially served with all-female chat channels and the like, and being able to find that resource of another female player when you want to complain about things like your male counterpart/fellow corp member/buddy getting gung ho and blowing his frigate up trying to take on too many rats and then whining to you about it Or whatever male steryotype you wish to insert above The point being, females are the minority in EVE, like it or not, and there are things that we have to deal with because of it, so having that solidarity is a very good thing ^_^

Hey everyone,
Been playing for a few months and immensely enjoying it. Girls kick ass! (no offense guys!) Anyway, I'm already in a corporation but there are a few more girls I know about and I'll let them know about this thread.
Cheers!

woow ...its a lot of real life girls playing , surprised how many guys answered this tread though
when that is said I am a rl girl as well, and thanks to ccp pointing out this tread for me.I know several rl girls playing , 6 others btw , mostly from Norway as me.
A girls only corp sound like something that might become a interresting consept , but personally I enjoy my corp and my guys to mutch to consider a change. But I hope someone will make sutch a corp, pure amazone guy ganking consept sounds like fun .. or a female pirate corp YAHARR!!

There has been a all girl corporation, it didn't survive for long.
Many of the larger corporations have a few girls between the ranks though, there are more then you think out there. Most prefer to keep a low profile though
The female players in ATUK doesnt seem to think so, and i can vouch for that .
so true

I am a m2f TS myself and am identified by myself and all my friends as a normal girl. Sure I got a male body but I think that it's the mind that tells who I am, not what I look like. But it would be wrong to say that being TS did not affect my personality. It took a lot of time to mature enough to seperate body from personality and the reactions of many men also done me not a lot of good. I have developed a certain degree of antipathy against men (for a while even real hatred). For that reason alone I would like to play for a girls only corp. I know that is sexual discrimination but I have got the background to explain it; not justify, tho....
If there is any girls corp out there that takes personality more important than body, please invite me in....

I sometimes get the feeling I am the only one there I have been looking for an all girl corp but there doesn¦t seem to be one in EVE. Are there any girls out there interested in starting a girls only corp? And I mean real girls not girl characters

I am rl woman whose been playing for nearly two years. My first character was male, lasted about a week, and I wanted a female persona to represent me. That character too equickly formed a corp for my family members, and then I tired of her business orientation and created the character I play now. As a result, I've split my training so widely that my partner who started at the same time has twice the SPs as my current character.
I really wish I'd had the experience of an all woman corp to start out with. Right now I'd love to find an all woman anti-pirate corp. I run in to rl women in the game ALL the time. Most of them are either newbies or scare the hell out of me. Women are much more nurturing in community and much more leathal in competition as I see it. If any one is looking for a fledgling female pirate Minnie with cute toys for an all girl death squad let me know.
