SL is incredibly easy to get started, and as Nerds mentioned the emerald viewer should be windows 7 compatible. It is completely free, though once you get there you'll want L$ (the currency in world) to shop, but even that can be easy enough to get without dipping into your own pockets.
There is plenty of Butch/Femme/Trans space and a number of SL players are also members on BFP so, you've got the inside track to some good B/F/T welcoming places.
There is TONS of BDSM/Leather space. And Butch/Femme/Trans welcoming kink space. But, as everywhere, be wary of the people that are SL kinksters only, they think they know everything when the type of play possible there isn't always realistic.
The majority of communication is chat/text based, though there are many places where voice chat is enabled and so people can speak to each other, which is always fun. I often can't voice chat, but I can listen to those that are an type my responses, which is the best of both worlds.
Sorry this thread wasn't clear from the outset, thank you all for being patient and at least curious enough to look into it. So, yay, that!
