Girdle of Masculinity/Femininity

The Girdle of Masculinity/Femininity is a cursed belt in Baldur's Gate, its Enhanced Edition, and Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear.
== Acquisition ==
It can be found on the body of the girdle ogre in the Coast Way. It can later be imported into Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear.
== Effects ==
The girdle changes the sex of the wearer immediately, altering their appearance but not voice. It is a cursed item, which means it cannot be removed without visiting a temple or casting a Remove Curse spell.
== Gameplay ==
The Girdle can be useful for solo female characters (or all-female parties) as some things in the game can only be done by male characters:
* In the original Baldur's Gate and in the Enhanced Edition prior to v2.5, Oublek will only mistake a party for Greywolf that has at least one male member.
* Safana can only be recruited by male characters.
* Shar-Teel Dosan only challenges male characters.
* Nemphre's quest can only be started by male characters.
* Many romances in Siege of Dragonspear are limited by 's gender.
