I was talking specifically about people the other person was attempting to describe. Not what was necessarily in this game.They're not transgender at all. These aren't male characters who believe themselves to be women, or vice versa. It's a fantasy world where a very sizable number of people are simply born like this, where that's just a valid and common additional biological possibility* and all such individuals so far feel perfectly comfortable with their bodies in that respect.
I think it's very reductive to see a fantasy setting, inherently capable of exploring things that do not exist in our world, and instead of engaging with it as-is, insist on pigeonholing it as something tangentially related in the real world. It'd be like me insisting Puca is African-American even though there's no Africa or America in this fantasy world, simply because her complexion is darker. It's just not related.
*intersex conditions exist in our world, but they are exceedingly rare, let alone the intersex condition where someone would appear exactly like a biological woman but with a fully functioning member. They also occur due to defects and frequently accompany serious health issues. Unless Majalis decides to take an especially dark turn in the background/lore of the setting, it's not comparable.
They were talking about transgender individuals - but using objectification language instead of objective language.imo it isn't futa if there's no vagina cuz that's my definition of futa(im sure many agree with this, cuz iirc seeing a thread post under a meme), so "dickgirls/shemales"; but most the game is vagina-less futa ,
I agree with everything you are saying. We are on the same side, for the most part.
I would argue defining transgender as "male characters who believe themselves to be women" - because that isn't the correct word. I believe (see what I did there?) that you are describing people who identify as women, but used a slightly inferior word. They say "I am a woman." They don't say "I believe I am a woman."
Thanks.
We had this conversation already on the previous page - Majalis didn't edit the version title - it is v0.31.3, however.Something must be wrong. I downloaded the java file and it's says the version is v0.3.51.2.
