[QUOTE="Essafah, post: 8327201, member: 16472"] Well, if I couldn't play a character of whatever skin tone I wanted I would of course do as you suggested and look for a new game.....but that is not exactly what we are talking about nor have I ever said people should not be able to play trans folk so I don't know where that is coming from....at all. I just blatantly didn't insist ANYWHERE in any statement that people can't or shouldn't play trans characters. In fact, I have said the opposite people can play whatever character want. Here is what I am saying. If I make a character. He is Black. He is bald-headed and clean shaven with light brown eyes. If in the game my DM describes my PC to another PC and says, "Okay, standing before is a man who is five feet tall, he has coffee brown skin with green eyes, and a clean shaven head and face." I am not then going to get mad and say but you didn't say the word BLACK for my PC. Likewise if you make a trans female character and describe her as heavy set, with blonde hair and light red eyes and a moustache on her upper lip and the DM says, "Okay standing before you is a portly woman in green garb who has blonde hair and equally blonde moustache on her upper lip". Where would trans specifically come into the description at all? Again it just [I]seems[/I] like (and this could be just my perception) that somehow it is being demanded that trans specifically be used in the description when if transmen are men and trans women are women then saying men and women would be enough in the description as it is logical.
