Character Gender Swap?

I have read that there is supposed top be some kind of change in Shadowlands to the Character Gender Swap service, but I was not aware that such a service existed at all, and cannot find it anywhere in the Shop
Is there such a service available, can you change a character from a girl to a boy, or will that be something new, not yet implemented??
Thanks in advance!!

Barber shop, and it’s cheap too! You can change your gender to go with your transmog lol

you could try a back alley surgeon but that seems dicey

It was a service before but they and I quote “Felt like it was sending the wrong message” to charge for something like that. So they updated the barber shop to do it

Fun fact: In addition to the modern usage, “barber” is also an archaic term for a surgeon.

The barber shop used to be a place to go for small to moderate emergency care. Say you got in a bar brawl and a nasty hook connected with your ear and tore the lobe from your head a bit. You might go to the barber shop to have a few sutures keep you looking symmetrical…

There’s something skin-crawly about merging that real-world trivia with the idea that in Azeroth, I might stop by the barber for a quick gender reassignment on the way to a dungeon…

“Little off the sides, Mick… and in the middle…”

SCHLUCK

GRAAHHHHH!!

Oh good job here’s a tip!

barbers weren’t surgeons per se. they were willing to pull teeth, cut off limbs and set broken bones.

its fair to say barbers were the precursors to surgeons and dentists, though mostly they just butchered ppl.

Actually, ingame the barbershop makes perfect sense. The differentiation, after all, in gameplay is entirely cosmetic.

You still can’t change your name that easily, though. Which also makes sense. The various governments don’t care what you look like, or how you’re shaped, or how you dress-- but they damn sure want to know who you are.

Man. The history of medical procedures was BONKERS.

I mean current surgery is still absolutely barbaric if you think about it. But at least folks aren’t dying of shock or blood loss.

Nonsense! 50g to the alley guy with tools and no questions asked, nothing can go wrong. :shushing_face:

Which is rather preferable to the Ogrimmar barber, who kinda just tugs really hard at things.
