Non-binary gender needs to be added to character customization

A NB student came into my office today and mentioned how they don't feel represented in media. As more people come out as non-binary, like Bella Ramsey (https://gamerant.com/the-last-of-us-star-bella-ramsey-nonbinary/), I think FF14 also has a role in being inclusive with gender identity as more and more people identify as NB, third gender, queergender or genderless:

I hope that Square Enix can make a progressive statement and let the first MMO include non-binary/third gender choices during character customization. If they want to go further, they could even make new racial models that have a queergender aesthetic, like Shadowbringers Urianger, which would allow for deeper customization as even people in the gender binary would also be interested in playing gender-ambiguous characters.

Maybe babysteps and have them give us the ability to change eye color in game and let hrothgar change hair without a fantasia.

We need the apache helicopter option first.

Expanded character customization is in the works but I would hope that they would do more than baby steps since they're revamping the system.

I would like to see more characters that give off both a masculine and feminine vibe during character creation.

This is incredibly offensive and you need to educate yourself on why that slur is transphobic and usually made by incels. Are you a hateful transphobic incel?

Non-binary folks don't threaten you in any way. Stop making incel attacks.

One is free not to adhere to whatever social constructs surround the set of genitalia they pick at the character select screen, though?

Physically speaking, the only option missing would be, essentially, hermaphroditism. Being non-binary or not isn't a choice of sex, but of expression.

But whatever; TitanMen thread be what it be.

A lot of systems in FF14 are not non-binary friendly. For example, you are forced to be referred to as HE or SHE in the story. Some people prefer to be referred to as they, which is not currently an option. People who are genderfluid may wish to change their pronouns occasionally. Right now that requires paying $10 each time.

the only thing that needs to happen is you getting your forum access revoked

I would pay to have actual forum moderation...

I'm just happy to see two trolls fighting each other. I hope they're having fun.
