Can I try to veer this conversation a bit more towards the original topic by pointing out that, in a world like Eorzea, where physical transition is as easy as drinking a potion before you go to bed, it would be far less of a disruption and far less of an issue than it is IRL. In a world where Fantasia exists, and people can be whatever gender they want to be, nobody's going to be stuck in the "wrong" type of body, so it would be safe to assume everyone's body-type gender is their correct one.

Which leaves the only people the request applies to being those who don't (or rather whose characters' don't) have an emotional/mental gender at all, and see themselves as truly genderless. It's a different issue, and I believe a far less common one, than being trans.
