The new set_gender effect has arrived, and thankfully I was able to remove all of the clone-related code. However, leader portraits still don't always reflect the flags I have set for gender presentation, and it's still not possible to fully copy the initial ruler portrait.

Short version - it works the same as it has been, but with way less crazy code going on under the surface.

@Sunconure11 you'll have to look at its code. This mod mostly adjusts portraits for species with sexual di-/tri-morphism (one of the toxoid species has trimorphism), and adds events to attempt to alter the gender of some leaders when they spawn... by spawning a replacement.

I anticipate this would only become an issue if the other mod also tries to modify leaders as they spawn. Also this mod won't necessarily respect gender restrictions by the other mod.

Well, for starters, that mod adds a lot of stuff like various civics, traits, and government types based on sex, so I was wondering how this would play into it.

@Sunconure11 depends on how tgat mod works. I recommend looking through the code of both.

Would this need a patch for the gender politics mod?

With the upcoming new DLC "Galactic Paragons" as part of patch 3.8 "Gemini," I anticipate this mod will need significant adjustments. And not just because of the upcoming effect change for set_gender .

@Liara - thanks!

Absolutely love this one. You deserve the world, friend.

@enbylvania65000 Generally yes, it should work. The SE- Restyled (et al) triggers are designed to follow the same gender patterns as this mod (i.e. should work as expected). The Humanoid species class redefinition in SE - Restyled makes any changes to human/humanoid portraits from this mod irrelevant.

I believe some trigger changes that might in be in Stellaris 3.8 "Gemini" will help me further improve Gender Nonbinary Leaders - so I am not planning on script re-working until them.

Thanks so much for making this! It means a lot to me personally

Is this compatible with SE - Restyled? https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2652314464
Of those, I specifically use SE - Asset Repackage, SE - Restyled, SE - Restyled - Everything, SE - Restyled - Extra Bodies, SE - Restyled - No Replace.
If not, can you please make a patch?

@JunoMe Omg your comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ❤️❤️

Finally, i can relive the daily horror of having my existance disputed in my favorite grand strategy game! Thank you!

I've finally released an update. Due to changes in the game, this mod is not able to influence the gender presentation of leaders anymore.

@Tadpol - I haven't fully verified it. I do have updated, potentially functional code on the project GitHub (link above). Unfortunately it's a lot of work to test all the combinations and I have been slacking.

Is this compatible with 3.4? Seems aesthetically fitting for this game honestly (especially if you play Stellaris more like Star Trek rather than like Warhammer).

found your mod on accident, ignore the bigots, its a good mod

Basest mod

Yes it is. I made it for inclusivity and also it was a fun technical challenge.

is this really a mod for they pronouns

I am the slowest. I never finished my update for 3.2 but it's still on my mind to hit in 3.3 "Libra."

With the new ability to have uni-sexed species in 3.2 I'm still working on an update for this mod. In the meantime, I have been able to update all the Silfae's Revisited series of mods to fully support that feature. While you wait, this should continue to function as-is but leader who change species (especially changing from an "indeterminable" species to a male/female/not_set) may begin displaying a gender other than what was intended.

yessss

This is great for flavor and variety :) thanks for making this

@ReaverMachete glad you found it! I made this mod because we all deserve to see ourselves in our games.

I'd be delighted if PDS decided to add functionality like this to the game directly, but for now we have this mod.

Must say I was just checking your mods for your subtle additions to make the game feel more real and alive.

I didn't expect to find something so relevant to me, thanks for this!

Also its strange this isn't in the base game yet since Surviving Mars has Non-Binary colonists.

>Weird of them to be so triggered by our existence.
Oh, the irony!

@Lil' Witch - I checked on Pony Stuff (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2499458187) and it turns out no compatibility patch is needed. All the pony portraits are available regardless of gender, so both mods will work together without a patch.

thanks mate

This is a nice way to add some more flavor to my empire's leaders, thanks for the mod!

reddit moment

Based.

@Vex The mod is set up for randomizing, so I don't have an event for exactly that scenario. What happens under the hood is that I create a new copy of the leader with the desired gender. In order to make it as seamless as I could, it only applies to leaders that initially spawned as recruitable leaders - otherwise it's necessary to match up the copy with wherever the previous leader was assigned.

I believe you're on the Modding Den Discord - you can ping me there. I actually have written similar reassignment code for another mod that I could reuse here to build some events to make altering a particular leader easier.

Just the id, please.

Is there an event I can spawn that can change my leader's gender to no gender?

Aw..

Compatible with Ironman mode, but not achievements. It needs events to function.

is this ironman compatible/achievement compatible?

Please, cry about my cannonically polyploid species, and I will drink your tears.

Are people really just downvoting an inclusive mod? Shame on all of you for downvoting a COSMETIC mod simply because you don't like it.

Why is this mod getting mass downvoted lmao some players are just pathetic crybabies

Updated for 3.1 - I spent a lot of time trying to implement an event to change the initial ruler's pronouns, but all my attempts so far result in an altered leader portrait. We also seem to have a new issue as a side-effect of some optimizations by PDX leaders who don't change gender identity but do change gender presentation may not get the right portrait.

@Lil' Witch I haven't forgotten your request - I'm planning to come back to it after I finish updating all of my existing mods for 3.1.

Thanks @The Bird! Be on the lookout for potential issues with 3.1.1 - I haven't fully tested this mod yet.

Hey, thanks for making this mod! I've been looking for a mod like this forever (don't got the skills to code one myself).

Those complaining about it apparently are crying a bit too hard about the existence of nonbinary folks. Weird of them to be so triggered by our existence. Let them cry.

You're doing great work @corsairmarks!

imagine being triggered about having trans ♥♥♥♥ in a game with trans devs you absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

@Coitus Maximus cry harder

@Lil' Witch I missed your comment earlier, but I'll see what I can do to adjust the portrait selectors.

I absolutely love this. It's nice to see a game about politics and culture finally show that enbies...exist. I'd like to see this mod work with Pony Stuff (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2499458187) given that I play with it every game. It'd be cool to see the species have a chance to have enby pones spawn, and for changelings to use They/Them for the most part on account of being constantly changing shapeshifters. But I get that pony stuff may not be something you're interested in and dont wanna do. Either way, this is great, thank you.

Let's stop pretending our space-politics simulator (Stellaris) isn't filled with direct references to real-world issues. And the Special Thanks section mentions why I made this mod.

Normalizing representation is not a political statement. Gaming is for everyone, and this is my small way to make it more inclusive.

The conditioning of society continues. haha
