     @graf @alex I'd probably say more that it's some dumb bending backward for something that's not gonna appease anyone that's actually going to play it, and might even piss off the paying customer this time

     @coolboymew Portkey Games.

     I’m not against trans characters in games by any means, but this is very clearly a political statement, and a cowardly betrayal to JK Rowling to try to save face while profiting off the thing she created.

     If she's not using magic to change gender it's a pretty retarded idea tho

     Dude you can just drink Polyjuice and become another gender, this isn't a mind bending violation of the Potterverse tbh

     @feld @alex @coolboymew i assume that body dysmorphia would be worse for trans wizards knowing that polyjuice can transition you perfectly but only for 24 hours and the stuff is hard to come by

     It's not going to satisfy them.
     Nothing can, not even public self flagellation.
     
     Also, in a very gatekept, racist, classist and prejudiced world, trans characters are supposed to be running businesses. Stunning and brave to the max.

     @feld @alex @coolboymew Wait, in the books, didn't they have to be of the same sex as the person they were imitating? Hermione went to get hair off the clothes of a girl student for that reason but when she got some cat hairs off the girl's clothes by accident, Hermione developed some cat like features.
