Why didnt sirona use spells to change her appearance?

[Vaporwave Spirit]

Isnt the goal of a trans male to female person to look like a girl? Why didnt they make the obvious choice to just make the character a woman that reveals to you through dialogue that they were originally a man that used a spell to become a woman because they were uncomfortable about how they looked? that would be better than what is clearly a self insert character meant to please the woke crowd. Im not against trans people in any way, but cmon theres better ways to do this. They missed a golden opportunity to use spells as a way of representing gender and they failed.

Because it easier to implement. Just lazy writing.

Last minute decisions and bad writing. They could have really found a way to make it a magical thing and they clearly put zero effort into it and it makes no sense lol popped in a character from the 21st century where there’s no magic and went through a normal muggle transition and thought we wouldn’t notice… never thought I would say muggle transition.

[køgmen]

they didn't put her into story as a trans for the story, they just wanted to put some lgbt stuff to hype people who gets hyped just because there is a rainbow or colorful flag in it. they could've made a good background story with some flashbacks.

You have a weird obsession with transgender

[Abyssus_j]

Because then no one would know and the publishers would fail their "social governance" KPIs when audited which is likely to be a condition of the loan they received to develop the game.

Because they can more easily remove the transgenderism in countries were its undesired, and they do it as can be seen when changing localization. Virtue Signaling only is for the west.

Lore-reason: Some people decide to "not be/look perfect", else wizwards would also correct their eyes and not wear glasses.
Political-reason: To make people more aware that Trans-people are normal the way they are in our world.

[Brahson]

definitely was a last minute thing

Hmm bunch of male students beginning to hit puberty, starting to hit there sexual peak. Are able too give them self's breast. Just by a wisp of wand and no one else can see the problem with that?

bingo... We might be inclusive and "you do you as long as it doesn't infringe on my freedom to do me" for the most part eh....but then we the US where's its more "your freedoms must conform to my anglo-christian xenophobic, homophobic, douchecanoeism" and sadly there are a lot of backwards countries like the US in the world that don't tolerate the masturbation of interest groups like in the US eh :P

Because that would actually make sense, and the people that make these kinds of decisions don't put any thought into it.

Rather than thinking about how to put actually positive representation into their games, they just shoehorn in anything they can in attempt to appear inclusive.

So you're gatekeeping what a trans person should look like?

With that logic, why are there any unattractive wizards/witches at all? Surely all of them should just use magic to look like supermodels?

Could it be that some people are not as shallow as you and being the correct gender is what matters to them. Looking pretty for you isn't a concern.

Everything, and I mean everything, is interpreted as a political statement.

The irony is, that people argue with that people should be integrated and accepted as normal in our society. Yet they always turn on spotlight and try to make games silly, where it got pointed out again.

However I do not feel like it has been bad in HL, as they did not make it a big thing, but I also could understand if people are irritated, that a trans person in game does not try to get as feminine as possible, if there is magic involved, as I also thought that nearly all trans people want to be as close as possible to the desired gender and would even try to get it to a point where you cannot tell anymore if it is a born woman.

If a trans woman's goal is to pass as a woman, wouldn't they want to, y'know, look and sound like a woman?

I kind of doubt they would prefer people constantly questioning their gender. That seems like it would be pretty annoying to deal with, especially when you could use magic to not have to deal with it.

Sirona does look and sound like a woman.

They may not look and sound like your ideal of a perfect woman, but that isn't really their problem.
