[QUOTE="Roseweave, post: 6937556, member: 6806914"] tbh I forget whether or not I've told the GM or players whether or not I want my next character to be trans. It's sort of a reverse of this problem, where it's an experience that's so intensely mine that others might not know how to react to it. There's a long history of "Gender bending" in D&D so even if there aren't really any properly "trans" characters outside of maybe a couple of Gods(Corellon comes to mind) that I don't think it would stand out much. I think I decided back with the Mizhena controversy that my next character would be trans, because there was no reason [I]not[/I] have a trans character, and the fact I've never . What exactly that will mean though I'm not sure. I only had [URL="http://roseweave.deviantart.com/art/Farah-Al-Jala-622679620"]one[/URL] trans [URL="http://roseweave.deviantart.com/art/Mephals-Artificial-Mephits-460305496?q=Roseweave%2F17246133&qo=20"]character[/URL] in my character's backstory(she worked for an evil wizard in calimshan helping with alchemy, then made a run for it with his alchemy stuff, figuring out how to create hormone-manipulating potions and ultimately making birth control for courtesans & my character's doctor, which i thought was a cool way to throw everything together). (Real reason: my character is going to be a spy-ish sort and I want to be able to drop my voice for disguises, lol). That adds another dimension to this though. How would I feel if [I]someone else[/I] played a trans character? If it's a character that's non-binary example - it's kind of normal for Fey/Elves to have nonspecific genders for example - it probably wouldn't be a big deal. But a character that had been through a specific analogue of transition might be difficult(my next character will probably have ties an alchemist, lol). Has anyone had this around a table? The 5E PHB encourages it, technically. [/QUOTE]
