This change might actually bring me back to the game. What a great leap forward.

Reminder that the person who coined the term gender and pretty much invented the concept of it as a social construct separate from biological sex was a scientist from the 60s named john money who was a pedophile that performed sick gender-related experiments on young children (that resulted in the eventual suicide of two twins)
The chronically online outrage is delicious lol. If you are seriously bothered by any of this, I feel very sorry for you. This is such a minor change that is good for some people out there.
The real answer is that the engine likely won't support full customization, especially because of how armor is done in the game. They are giving what little they can without having to completely redo the character creation system and armor system and somehow make it work on the ancient engine.
I want them to go hard on this. add OTT Drag makeup options for both body types and altered posture for wearing heels.
Not for ideological purposes, I just want to see Asmongold's Drag Race becoming a feature of his streams.
I think it's a good idea, though I also thing it might work better if you pick the pronoun options first, then the body type, rather than body type then pronoun.
Other than that, I wonder if your choice will factor into which of titles like Matron/Patron you get? There aren't that many times in game where your character is referred to specifically by gender so this would largely be a behind the scenes change and shouldn't intrude on anyone else.
Damnit, this company is just not inclusive, what about those of us who identify as Body3?
Parents should keep their childeren away from blizzard products with their wierdo agenda idea's its damaging everything and its sick.
Incoming a plethora of "body type 1" she/her Kul Tirans. Clown society has made its way into WoW. Full steam ahead!
Blizzard is not adding additional customization options to any of the previous races. The only thing taking place here is changing Male to Body type 1 and Female to body type 2, then they are adding a bunch of pronouns in the game. There won't be people making a body type 2 character with a more masculine build with a beard anytime soon.
Maybe I can shed some extra light on this if you're cool with it? So, I said earlier in this thread that I'm FtM Trans and you're right. I don't want to get into any obnoxious details about it or anything but it's not very easy. But I am also happier too. The interesting thing about it though is that I didn't know I was trans when I was younger because I didn't know being trans existed lol. Like, I had no idea that was even an option! When I learned about it, it was like "Oh! Yeah! That makes a lot of sense." It's kind of like learning a new word. idk hope that makes some sense
Those aren't the only bills being passed lol. Things like access to even having healthcare and treatment they need. I even heard they're trying to go after trans adults by restricting access to such medications for even adults. I should not be surprised, some states in the US are also trying to restrict access to AIDS meds. Those laws just simply target transgender individuals in all aspects possible.
Trans athletes are a pseudo-problem and have led to actual pedophilic laws passed that require YOUNG KIDS (imagine a 10 year old) to go through genital examination in order to actually play sports if someone gives an anonymous tip they might be trans. Hint: this affects cis kids too, if someone just doesn't like their competitor. The benefits of having gone through male puberty (which could be prevented by, you guessed it, trans healthcare in form of puberty blockers) and then transition are marginal and comparable to an athlete having other forms of advantages, like better coaches or access to equipment etcetera. No cis man is going to go through the ordeal of transitioning in order to compete with women for 'easy points', and this panic also hasn't really been reflected in the statistics of trans athletes winning all medals.
So? Conservatives in the US are passing laws that enable them to exploit children because of the trans panic. New scientific studies have all continued to independently confirm that gender and sex are separate, and gender is more of a social construct.
Whataboutism does not help your argument, otherwise if you like Lovecraftian horror and any derivatives of it boy do I have a story to tell you.
What? The person who runs away from debates because he's too scared he's not going to have any argument?So you admit that Steven Crowder is a better source of debate?
Also, you're correct, neither science or facts OR logic are involved when it comes to conservative arguments! That's their entire being - to be anti-science!

Sometimes LGBT people also want to be able to make a character that represents them best and live the fantasy of a world where it's not treated as a big deal by other characters.
It's not about injecting reality into fantasy, it's about allowing more people to enjoy that escapism fantasy we all share. It's just for some people they get hung up on something that they'll hardly ever if ever notice during actual play.
That hasn't happened, ever. Biology is science, facts and logic. Biology proves XX is female (and the body components confirm it), while XY is male (with the corresponding male bodily components).
The female body (and its brain) does not respond well to massive levels of testosterone, and the male body (and it's brain) does not respond well to the massive levels of estrogen. This is the largest part of the medically altered dysphoria conforming that leads to the 41% of trans suicides.
