For all the people concerned about trans characters... D&D already officially has one

[Menagerie]

Fel'rekt Lafeen from Waterdeep: Dragon Heist is canonically trans. They are not breaking the existing canon with it.

Corellon themselves, the patron deity of elves, can switch their gender freely too (though they mostly stay in male form). And that goes back to Deities & Demigods from 1980.

Anyone who thinks this is something new actually has no idea what they are talking about and/or is just bigoted.

And they still exist in 5e ^.^

You know how it is though, even if it can be categorically proven that it was always a theme in dnd, people don't care.

Nah, he is switching sex. It is indoctrinated people like you who are the problem. There is explicitly written he can choose to be female and male.

lol, I don't need to define women, I know women IRL.

Ok, lets play this game.

"Women are people who can bear children!!!" - so if you become infertile are you no longer a woman?

"Uhhh...ohhh...I guess women are people with XX chromosome? HA!" what about women with "triple XXX" syndrome, who have 3 X chromosomes? Or other chromosomal abnormalioties?

it's a stupid game

No one uses the first definition. And genetic abnormalities don't mean a woman isn't a woman or a man isn't a man.

No one uses either definitions. They are just the adult female humans, whose clothes tend to have no pockets.

Are you an unemployed IRA troll or something? I'm asking cause of your profile pic.

How long you think he's gonna stay alive? Or is he dead already? lol

Look at all the garbage floating around the forum, the mods don't care.

A couple hit the dust already. I wish there was a purge.

One of them was from sept. 2020. I don't give them any credit in that case at all.

The others getting zapped was nice to see though I admit.

Incorrect. Gender and sex are the exact same thing, defined by the presence or the absence of the Y chromosome. And you can't "choose" a gender. That's pseudo-scientific nonsense.

No like it or not Gender and Sex are scientifically two different things - yes they are related but they are not the same.

Look up Sawyers Syndrome - essentially XY Chromosomes but the there is a failing with the Testosterone levels that result in the DNA never receiving the message to develope male body parts.
The person is identified as female by even the best doctors, short of a DNA test you'd not know - until puberty.

This one thing alone (and there are more) proves that XY Chromosomes ALONE do not define Gender.

Other tests done by Scientists have established there is a male and female Brain pattern, When testing Trans persons their brain pattern aligns to the gender they identify with. A load of Scientists did not believe this when it was first published and so repeated the experiments themselves - getting the same results!
(I also thought this was BS when I first read it - more fool me).

If you know anything at all about Biology, DNA and evolution, you know it is not clean it is not well defined and generally Blurry lines exist EVERYWHERE.

We already know that there are spells and curses that can change your sex in D&D. It is not something new.

You are confusing biological sex and gender. Which, to be honest, does not surprise me.

Both are the same thing. There's no such thing as "mental gender". Not a single scientific study has ever shown that there is.

The World Health Organization[www.who.int] disagrees with you.

There's two.

So anyway, back to the actual topic.

Exandria from Critical Role is also now an official 5e setting and has been confirmed to have many trans characters in it.

https://www.belloflostsouls.net/2021/04/dd-critical-role-says-trans-rights-matt-mercer-confirms-exandrian-trans-characters.html

Mercer named a number of “Exandrian trans figures”, Yussa Errenis, the elven mage and owner of the Tidepeak tower in the Open Quay district in Nicodranas, where the Mighty Nein discovered their first teleportation circle; Khemdal Dust, a dwarven smith; Kotho the Bounty Hunter, a firbolg who used to be a famous bounty hunter before losing her memories and living life as a master hunter; as well as Master Duasad Keed of the Golden Grin, and Olesya Lapidus, Marquis of Port Damali.

LOL 2 minutes of google to destroy that argument,

You may wish to also consider they are peer reviewed - which means several other Labs have repeated and Confirmed their findings. It is often Labs that do not believe the study that do this as well, in an attempt to find errors in the initial study.

You are writing to people who don't know what peer review is. Or who think it's just some globalist conspiracy.

Yeah but it's kind of fun finding how common it is in actual D&D lore and I'm getting to fill my block list efficiently.

Lol, there is no such thing as female and male brain

https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn28582-scans-prove-theres-no-such-thing-as-a-male-or-female-brain/

Stop with this nonsese, if gender is socially constructed, it cannot manifest physically.

Also, gender is not binary, there are over 100 genders, ergo there would be over 100 different brains.


Not to mention that this whole social constructionist as a theory is a century debunked nonsense by people who do not understand statistic. Yes, in some way you can say that gender is socially constructed, if the idea would be that every man is emotionless and every woman is emotional. That's not true, but when you look at data, on average, due to different hormones, evolution and genetic makeup, on average, women are more empathetic than men due to ability to carry a child and their sexual hormones which make them quicker to bond with a child and it manifests in increased empathy and men are more aggressive than women and commit more crimes, because evolutionary, they are supposed to gather food and defend the pack.. But instead of educating people and explaining evolution, evolutionary psychology, genetics, biology, evolutionary biology, statistics, we have to tackle with gender and people adopting genders and reinforcing those stereotypes further. That state of the humanity.

lol, nah they are real, the earth is flat, gravity affects us all, and the sky is blue.

Pretending one of those things doesn't exist doesn't erase them

No they are not real.

If you commit a crime and a "trans" person (Male to female) leaves DNA, it is going to be 100% pure male dna.

Trans is not real. I am sorry.

2+2 does NOT equal 5.

If you believe that, I got a timeshare to sell you.

There is only male or female. Or you are a confused male or a confused female.

Why did you feel the need to post this twice?

The truth must always be shared.

In the world of darkness, the Truth shines like a beacon of burning light and sends the coverts of darkness screaming.
