[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 7436364, member: 6879661"] I’ve been watching this thread with some amusement at some of the pretty lame excuses for not allowing this tiny element in the game. To be fair the title is deliberately provocative... after all we don’t have debates about whether gnolls are carnivores, or if angels can communicate telepathically. For some strange reason this seems to be a controversial subject. Hopefully we will eventually get to the stage where the topic doesn’t even raise eyebrows. Most hilarious reason to exclude it goes to “this topic is serious and we don’t deal with serious things in our games.” What so no death, murder, kidnapping, no captured slaves, or villages pillaged by dragons? No mysterious diseases, or divine curses... those things aren’t serious... but what hangs or doesn’t hang between one player/npc’s legs is? Next most hilarious reason: “My players are too immature, they’ll just mess around with this.” Well at least you’re self aware. However if that’s what they enjoy I don’t really see it as a problem. Shakespeare’s greatest comedies involved men that people thought were women and vice versa. Any groups with a trans player in them will already be so cool with this that it will be a total non-event. There’s no point even getting your knickers in a twist. Any DM who refuses a player who genuinely asks to have the ability, needs to have a good hard look at themselves and question why they’re refusing. I’m not going to tell anyone what they must or must not think in their own home. However, while this is not the same issue, people were talking the same the same way about gay people 10 years ago, black people 50 years ago and women 80 years ago... It doesn’t fit my version of the world... people can’t take it seriously... it will disrupt group cohesion. Etc etc. It’s cannon now so get over it, or ignore it as you chose. [/QUOTE]
