Non-binary option for characters, please?

Oh lord what is this. I do not play Final Fantasy to be confronted with political propaganda that I already deal with on other social media. Hard no. One thing is lgbt or androgynous characters, another thing is weird pronouns like xer or whatever. Over half of players do not want or care about these kinds of issues and Final Fantasy is in no way obligated to cave into such insane demands. It's sad they're going through this problem but that doesn't mean that the game should spend resources catering to something so superficial. If they didn't have the time to make costumes for this year's All Saint's Wake event how on earth does anyone expect them to do something like this?

Science and truth take conviction, and if it hurts the feelings of some, then so be it. I don't live my life attempting to hurt others, but if by living my life while adhering to the principles of truth and science manages to hurt you, then I'm not sorry in the least about it. I do hope you can learn to cope with it, but I don't at all wish to take responsibility for what you can and can't deal with in your life.

Sex and Gender are the same thing. There are only two genders, and there are only two sexes. Male and female. These statements say nothing as to any sort of mental instability, hormonal balances, or general body structure. It's in reference to specific sexual organs that either do or do not exist on the human body. These statements say nothing about sexual preferences, and they do not change just because you are sad.

It's Hydaelyn, not Earth. There's only 2 genders on Hydaelyn.

Until we get our butt slider option this should not even be brought up as a change to the game. There are better things that SE could spend their money on this game than changing that code. I agree this thread really needs to get nuked.

oh please, it's called Gender Identity Disorder for a reason.

You might need to brush up on your DSM-5. It isn't called that anymore, likely because people realized how offensive it was being.

The fact that is was changed to protect people's feelings speaks volumes.

The DSM-5 does have its name changed, but that did bring up a lot of questions at the time. Specifically, was it changed and reclassified for political purposes, rather than scientific purposes? And mind you, it still is in the DSM-5, which stands for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition. It is literally a manual on mental disorders, and despite the name change, it is not fully agreed upon that it is not one yet. Again, there is data that complicates the the idea that it is similar to sexuality. People still need to grasp that it is still a subject/condition that is being studied.
