If the other posters here are to be believed, Corellon's malleable traits have been in the game since first edition, which is one reason why the game wasn't any more or less inclusive for it being printed. Thus I can only assume its removal was due to Wizards being concerned about the word-police, and I am against this without regard to whether or not it has a large effect on the demographics of the game or the presentation of the game as a whole. As you yourself point out, hermaphrodite might actually be a more accurate term for Corellon, so if they shy away from using it due to potential controversy then they're doing D&D a disservice. However, as I said earlier I doubt Wizards shares my fervor for artistic integrity and one of the higher ups probably made a call to pull it rather than court unwanted attention. Whether or not the change was meaningful or not isn't important to my opposition so much as the reasoning for the change. Does that make sense?</blockquote>
