I liked that you mentioned transphobic comments, it's hard for transgender players to find like minded people to just be social with or discuss issues with.

General statement/addressing prior discussion:

There is transphobia even within the LGBT community, so it can be even more difficult at times. The aim isn't to not include others or create a schism within the games community, but there are many in the general community who know little about or may not want to know about anything having to do with transgender individuals. It's nice having a place to go where people understand what you are talking about, and who can give you feedback, and be social with you. Even though it may not directly have to do with the game, mmorpgs by there very nature are social. Anyway I'm glad someone brought up transphobic comments, it often goes unaddressed, and it's a group of people that's not always represented and not always in an accurate or good manner.
