It's cringe worthy, it lowers the public opinion of us in general, and it makes it so that the only place we're supposedly welcome to be ourselves are places of toxic vitriol. I've been treated like a bigot that hates transpeople for not agreeing with the methods of feminists (I've had to deal with self hate but it's not that kind of self hate, it's a body complex), and as such I can wholly sympathize with people getting browbeat in this discussion.
I mean, when it hurts and enrages me because I can't have an opinion on something that affects me, imagine the feelings you're instilling in others who wouldn't have a dog in that fight in the first place? This has got to stop. It's poisoning our society. It's breeding hatred to go along with the confusion that exists.
Please stop trying to help. You may wear a fireman's coat but your hoses are spraying gasoline.
Trans people are accepted. The creator of the forgotten realms even said this. Changing gender is fairly common too. There are low level spells that lets you do that.
Anyway. Food for thought, no?
Iv met homosexuals tho and other then trying to get into my pants they were nice, was a bit awkward telling them I was straight tho.
But the thing is, you then have this group of highly vocal and irritating people that make demands (often irrational demands) of non-trans people, often when they aren't trans themselves. Trying to police language, trying to browbeat people when they're not agreeing with them, or calling people bigots. Even if in this issue there are some transphobic people complaining about this issue, calling them bigots and being mean to them isn't going to make them less transphobic.
And dismissively reacting to negative feedback, and making blanket declarations of transphobia and bigotry against people is just going to make people who aren't (the majority of people) angry and plant the seed for that very thing in their hearts.
It's not even that people can't include transgendered characters in things. I play D&D regularly and I've had people in my games play trans characters or characters with unusual sexuality or family (such as a character in a recent campaign, played by a friend, who had two mothers because magic allows that to be a reproductive possibility). But the thing is, as many people point out, it's usually pretty obvious when it's presented very poorly, and the reaction to the criticism just threw a match on the grill.
I'll look into this Jinx person and see if I can find anything.
It's newton's 3rd law of cause and effect.
When she escaped and gave birth to the PC, she left the child to fend for itself to allow it a chance for freedom. This somewhat enraged the oni shogun and he intended to, eventually, reclaim what was his. Later, when the PC was an adult, she got by on drifting from place to place and murdering people in secret so she could feed (kumiho in their lore are required to devour the life essence of humans, typically by eating important organs like your liver). She eventually, accidentally, fell into an adventuring party and found that worked well for her (she for the first time was doing heroic things and helping people and she liked that, and it happened that adventuring parties tend to leave a lot of dead sentient creatures in their wake for her to feed on).
She eventually discovered her mother, slipped away with her. Her other mother was sent to reclaim the mother that gave birth to her, and was almost BBQ'd by the party until Mother #1 was like "No, don't kill her, she's your father!" or something to that effect. Seriously, shapeshifters are delightfully trippy.
