Does anyone roleplay online or in person to deal with our MTF to feel closer to who we are on the inside and mentally before our outside matches our inside?
Yep, Second Life for the win :) :) :)

I used to play Ultima Online when it was the only game around... I played a female character, and found myself able to express myself and portray myself very effectively. Everquest, WoW, even avatars on non-connected games can help, if you choose to use them.
And of course, Second Life. A number of people that I know got their start in getting comfortable with their true gender online.
Your mileage may vary... for some it's great, for others it doesn't help at all, or only a little. Second Life is free, though, and would be a great way to find out for yourself. :)
*hug* Good luck in your journey, wherever it may lead you.
When I played any kind of game, I was always a chick. My friends eventually got a clue. ;D
It is difficult to find any female characters on GuildWars 2 that are female. Escaping is nice but manifesting is incredible.
I am not familiar with either one of those. I have always been female over the phone and in yahoo chat rooms and groups.
This is the only forum I am on (aside from Laura's Playground) where I don't pretend I am someone else. Other places, i have a friend who lets me pretend to be her... pics and everything. Nothing sexual, mostly her holding up stuff I made (guitars, crafts, etc.)
I LARP as well. I love it because it lets me go through the motions of wearing anything I want before finally settling on a style of my own.
Any video game where I have the option to be female I do. Virtually any game such as Skyrim, Guild Wars 2, Diablo 3, Dragon Quest 9, Saint's Row (series), etc... I've played so many games over the years, I've lost track. I really can only role play in the real world when no one is home. I've been slowly incorporating feminine stuff into my public wardrobe. I'm almost at the point where I can't dress up more in public without giving anything away. I would eventually like to be able to share this with someone in the real world but that will have to wait till I move out.
BTW in Guild Wars 2, I got a female Necromancer and female Elementalist. Haven't played it in a while cause someone in my guild wanted to get more serious than I was willing or had time for. Haven't played much since.
God bless second life, met my boyfriend of 6 years there.

I've been a female online since I barely started puberty, started off in Toontown. All of my characters were female. Then, I played UO, female character. Same for EQ, though I did make a male froglok named Kribbert. I just liked the name. *shrug* Then WoW, female characters. Aaaaand now, just look at my avatar pic. xD
I've been Alexandria since I was really little. My parents knew about me doing that the whole time- but they assumed I was just being an obsessive boy with surging hormones. I guess whatever makes them more comfortable is the first assumption!
Even outside of games I'm a story writer and I draw, most if not all of my characters are female. I can't seem to feel like I get male characters right in a first person perspective. I do draw males though. :)
I second Emily's SL - its were I've been living as a female online for 9+ years. Plus it does have really good roleplay sims, since you can pretty much be anything and build anything!
