If eve-voice is integrated into ambulation, it would smoke out all of the imposters, no? Wouldn't it be disturbing if you stepped onto an elevator, looked over at the Gallente tart beside you, said "Hi!" and a man answered back? Could be funny.
It's an immersion breaker of course. My chars aren't supposed to be me, so if the chars use my voice it's a bit anti-roleplay and with female chars, really an rp killer.
Although I am not really roleplaying hardcore like the so-called roleplayers, I understand games like this as roleplay games.
That's why I start to play them in the first place. If I create a char and enter the gameworld, I create a virtual person that is going to discover that virtual world. I'm giving this character some life and sharing his experiences with him.
That's how I play my chars, especially if I like them. So if I create a female char, a girl, then I see her as a girl ! That isn't me, I only steer her to this world, give her a virtual life and share the experiences with her.
That's why I also consider the question of other players that ask me, if I am really a girl, as an immersion breaker. If I talk to random people in the gameworld, they are talking to my char, not to me, so asking my female char, if she is really a girl, is kind of an insult !
If a stranger asks this, I think he's a nub !
I never answer that clearly, except the one, who asks, is a friend.
Like I said my chars aren't me, I give them some virtual life, steer them through the world, share their experiences, which is quite interesting and if I steer my female char through the world, then she is a 'she' and I want her to be treated that way. I see and treat her myself as a 'she'. That's the whole reason why I made her female in the first place !
Ok, in daily pvp life with teamspeak and my 2 male pvp mains, I don't care that much. Then I'm usually only in I-want-to-kick-butts-mode. But in the more silent moments it's like I said before. 
P.S.: I've played several games and I see/treat/play my female chars as if they are females, although I block, if someone tries to date me. Then I run away, because I have more important stuff to do or so. The idea that another male gets some feelings, because my little char looks hot and I play her too well, makes me a bit afraid.
