It'd be nicer if the issue was approached with a bit more empathy and understanding rather than naturally drifting towards rules lawyering in order to explain why the joke is okay and not transphobic. Also, a large amount of the population says that all trans women are deviant men in dresses using deception to trick people into thinking they're women.

I've seen a bunch of trans people upset and off-put by it, changing the dialogue up a bit to be more considerate could keep the same joke but without the uncomfortable implications, and would help the community feel at least a -bit- more supported in a game that is pretty barren in terms of representation for anyone that's not cisgender and heterosexual outside of the activities kept 'in the shadows'.

Like, really? We can't even have a liiiiiiiiiiiiiitttle crumb? Do we have to write and publish papers explaining ourselves every time we want a bit of consideration? It's exhausting.
