[QUOTE="MechaPilot, post: 6875381, member: 82779"] Oh, this is an easy one. The pronoun usage is a matter of presentation because it affects neither how the game plays nor the descriptions of the game worlds: it affects only the genders of characters used in examples of how to resolve things that may come up during play. The inclusive statement about transgendered and non-heterosexual characters is descriptive of the game worlds to the same extent that describing the possible hair and eye color choices for any given race are descriptive of the game worlds. The descriptive nature of the inclusive statement and the coloration statement, unless negated by a declaration from the DM, effectively gives license to create a character that a DM may feel is not appropriate for his/her game or game world. Admittedly, both of the descriptive statements are very easy to ignore if one is so inclined. [/QUOTE]
