Perhaps if you didn't refer to people as "feminist hags" then your viewpoints might be more accepted friend. Personally I believe that Anita's efforts are overall a net positive for gaming because if people realise games keep doing the same thing over and over then maybe we'll get some fresh new ideas into the mix! I don't think anyone wants to take the fun out of videogames.
I've been out of the loop for a while. Today I logged in to find out if SoD was available yet and the first google results are all about a non-joinable transgender NPC rather than, say, something more relevant. Like professional reviews, Android release date etc.
Now, I've not actually played SoD yet, or read through what sound like pretty troll-y Steam reviews. However, I can think offhand of at least 3 instances in the original games where gender change could occur. Hell, you can switch your character's gender in map 3 of vanilla BG1.
Girdle of masculinity/femininity Roll a 7 or 85 on the Wild Surge table The "Edwina" sub-plot. Edwin's epilogue has him living out his days as a woman.
Baldur's Gate takes place in a magic-infused world in which gender (or species) can be literally changed in a number of ways. This is how it has always been. The developers acknowledging that in-game seems to have pissed off some trolls, probably the same ones who objected to Liara in Mass Effect and all the other storm-in-a-teacup flamewar rubbish.
