[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7438211, member: 23751"] That's just it, though. It really doesn't give trans folk any option that they didn't already have. In any game where the DM won't allow a transsexual PC, the rules for these elves won't be allowed, so no option is granted. I doubt they'd be playing with a person like that anyway. For the rest of the games, they already have the option to be a transsexual PC, and they aren't limited to being elves or needing a blessing to explain it. These rules don't give them anything new. As for normalizing it, the rules don't do that, either, and for the same reasons above. The normalization should happen in the real world in real venues, where it actually can happen, not in the game where it can't. A bigot isn't going to spontaneously change his stripes just because there are now rules for some elves to change gender. [/QUOTE]
