This is the very reason that rights are not - or at least should not be - voted on.
    As a neutral party I would like to inform you, personal identity is not a right. And the way you go tossing it around is extremely volatile and one sided, including to the cause you are trying to support.
    You have essentially at this point descended to saying you are correct because "you are". Because "it is the way of things". While at the same time, the other camp of this thread has been doing the same by claiming "men don't wear dresses" and so forth "its just the way of things".

    What needs to be realized by the people constantly labeling each other and nagging about in this thread for an online VIDEO GAME. Is that you can't label each other sides as "wrong". They simply aren't right or wrong. They're all opinions. As difficult as it can be to believe, someone not accepting someone elses beliefs doesn't make them a _____phobe. It is an opinion or a preference. The moment you begin to believe you are on the side of justice/right instead of just containing another opinion, is the moment you begin hurting everything you want to represent.


    Those who want dresses aren't wrong.
    Those who don't like it aren't wrong.
    Disliking each other for it is not wrong.
    Harassing one another for it is.


    So where does the real subject end up? Square Enix. It is the company with the "issue" at hand and simply put we all know what will be the end of it. The gay marriage debate was something they were too cautious to address and you can be fairly certain that trans anything will fall into the same category.


    And for bloody sake people, someone is not a homophobe just because they do not agree with homosexuality. That is not what a homophobe is, stop labeling every random naysayer or uncomfortable person that. Talk about burning bridges. I see some in here attempting to wield it like a knife or insult: all its doing is revealing your own desperation/bias.

    With that said I support equal marriage and anything people feel brings equality.
