    \$\begingroup\$ What has already been done or tried to resolve the situation; How did those things go? Has anybody talked to "L" about this; How did it go? Is he against these things being on the character sheets at all (such as in a section titled "Gender, Identity, Sexuality, Romanticism, and the Lavender Community") or is he only against them being given the "title" of "Personality Trait"? Also, if he doesn't consider such "traits" to be part of a character's personality, do you know what he does consider them to be? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Dec 10, 2020 at 19:26

    \$\begingroup\$ Has the GM specified some criteria for what they do consider to be personality traits? If not, have you asked them what they expect? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Dec 10, 2020 at 21:47

    \$\begingroup\$ "our group prefers custom personality traits to help us play the characters better" Can you describe a little bit how you use custom personality traits to play your characters better? Are your games, for example, more heavily focused on interpersonal roleplay rather than interacting w/ the world? And, by 'sexuality' do you mean 'sexual orientation', or 'inclination toward sexual activity'? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Dec 11, 2020 at 14:40

    \$\begingroup\$ This question has generated a lot of noise, so I've taken it of the HNQ (and it's been protected). This is not a question about what is identity and what is personality, it is about how to resolve a dispute about that with the GM. Answers which do not attempt to help that may be subject to downvotes and/or removal. Comments going at the false issue may be removed. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Dec 12, 2020 at 14:20

    \$\begingroup\$ Ok, the answers to this question has generated enough noise and unpleasantness that I've closed it and I'll go through and delete a bunch of comments. For this to be reopenable I ask that the community talks out what needs doing for it to be so (read: open a meta discussion). Please also take this as an indication to not continue comment threads until we've talked this out, and I'm hoping this should be sufficient to that end. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Dec 17, 2020 at 19:57
