In a non-human race? Sure.so, would you be ok with it effecting male characters removing charactristics that men identify with in the real world?

It's always interesting where people draw the line. A humanoid race that looks reptilian and may be descended from dragons is fine even though it may have unrealistic body structure, tails, and wings. But add breasts and suddenly there is a problem.
WOTC said in a panel a while back that the 4E Dragonborn had curves because their previous attempts at differentiating the genders (size, horn shapes, neck frills etc) kept scoring low with test audiences.
You're generalising a generalisation. I don't want to get into a whole gender debate so suffice it to say that there are more types and representations of gender than merely genitals represent.so, would you be ok with it effecting male characters removing charactristics that men identify with in the real world?
I'll ask my sister about that but I'm pretty sure she still considers herself a woman.edit: and if someone doesn't understand how a woman would consider breasts a major part of there self identity look up what happens with breast cancer and when you need to have them removed...
Last time I checked reptiles don't have mammary glands to feed their young

On a players perspective the women I game with tend to like their characters to look feminine, when they play dragonborn they like that it has breasts so they identify with it more. But different people different views, some women might dislike dragonborn with boobs and would rather play them without in this case just say those dragonborn are flat chested or say all female dragonborn in your world don't have breasts. It is like bearded dwarven women, sounds funny and all but I have never met a female gamer who wanted to play a bearded dwarven woman, but plenty that like to play dwarves.
In a non-human race? Sure.
Yes, I would definitely be fine with the male gender being changed also. Why would I be unwilling to play a character that does not mirror my real life physical characteristics?

Whenever this debate comes up, my mind always strays to Police Academy. And then I can't concentrate on the issue because I'm giggling too hard.I've met enough male gamers who only play male characters to say that if the PHB explicitly stated that male elves don't have penises, it would give them more than a few seconds' pause.
