[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 8327243, member: 6915329"] Can't say about SKT, but ones gender or gender identity can easily come up in game. Some examples, which can work if the transgender person is either a PC or NPC: Person running away/exiled from home due to prejudice. Person experienced prejudice (possibly severe, possibly just cruel taunts) due to being transgender and now stands up for anyone being hurt for who they are, and will loudly announce that fact. Person leaving home because, in that area, transgender people (or intersex people) are considered holy and must go on a quest to speak to a particular god/spirit/whatever who rules over such people. Person leaving from home because, for whatever reason, their home or family needed someone of one gender ("every firstborn woman of every generation in our bloodline has become a priestess of the Forest King") but the individual has realized they're transgender and can't fulfill that need. Person is seeking magic or technology that would fully transform them into the right sex (and [I]true polymorph [/I]is a 9th-level spell), or make them look more masculine or feminine--or neither; perhaps the person is NB or agender. Person is asked to do the "dress as a girl/guy in order to infiltrate the enemy's base" thing, but doesn't want to do it because it bothers them--or because they hated wearing that type of clothing even back before they transititioned. Person [I]looks [/I]like a man or woman, but when someone uses what would appear to be the appropriate pronouns for them, that person is corrected. There's a prophecy involving a transgender person. Because there's always a prophecy. For NPCs, they can mention it in passing. There was that Doctor Who episode where the Lady Cassandra reminisced about the old days, when she was a little boy. Or the PCs can ask an NPC about a particular individual. The NPC could say something like, "Yeah, we used to date, waaay back when I was a <other sex>." Plus, transgender [I]PCs [/I]can mention it whenever they feel like. Basically, you don't have to say that random villager is transgender because no, it's not likely that anyone is going to inquire about random villager. But you can use the idea for a named NPC just fine. [/QUOTE]
