Blizzard Says Trans Rights

There’ll be a character that presented female in life, but chose to be male in the Shadowlands. I’m so excited to play through his story line :grin: :transgender_flag:

That’s not how it works dear. Trans people don’t “chose.”

No one cares about your mind, honestly. You’re just another person we can clearly ignore on the subject because you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Off topic but, am I high or are you actually leveling that character that hasn’t left the starting zone still O.O. If you are, you are a madwoman/man and I respect that.

It’s scientific.

There is a neurological disorder called Dysphoria, of which the common symptom is Transgenderism. There is no cure for this disorder. Left untreated, it will cause severe depression/anxiety, usually ending in suicide or self mutilation.

The only effective treatment for dysphoria is, you guessed it, transitioning.

inb4 this thread is nuked.

Don’t forget that not all trans individuals actually suffer from Gender Dysphoria. However, in order for insurance to cover treatment in the United States, they have to be diagnosed with it. Gotta love that capitalistic healthcare system.

Because it’s not a cure, and it’s not perfect. It only eases the suffering.

There are people out there who suffer from gender dysphoria an actual psychological issue. Then there a gender trenders who just want attention.

You cannot change your DNA make-up thus you will always have the genetic makeup of either a male or female and in rare cases inter-sex. You cannot change this.

But you change how you present to the world and to some people this is enough to help them. Have a little compassion for those who suffer from the actual condition and arn’t just doing it for attention.
