Based on my own experience, you need to reevaluate your biases.
I’ve had many avatars online, some male, others female, many not human. While it can be for others, my decisions were never about my feelings towards my gender or sexuality.
I say this just to let you know these things are orthogonal. Just as you shouldn’t assume anything about a female child playing Peter Pan in the school production, you shouldn’t assume anything about a person’s gender or sexuality based on their “current” avatar (of possibly many current avatars).
