Is Chronormu really a âfeminine male dragon that indulges that trait in his visage formâ or could that be your own version of a âprojectionâ? Might it be that Chronormu actually is a âbrilliant and calculatingâ dragon with an entirely non-human perception of gender identity that simply chose a female - excuse me body type 2 - appearance for his visage form because - by Chronomuâs own words - this âsuitsâ Chronormu ⌠in among other things Chronormuâs interactions with the âlesser racesâ when furthering Chronormuâs personal and Flight related agendas?
⌠or with maybe being something else entirely?
The actual problem with Chromie is that we as players were introduced to that NPC in a way that we had to âassume the genderâ based on the physical body we saw and how that entity interacted with us.
Later on we encountered the supposedly same NPC as part of a species that actually doesnât have clear sex or gender definitions based on their appearance although the species would appear to conform to dimorphic reproduction mechanics along with certain naming conventions that refer to sex and/or gender.
Right there we were confronted with a name which implied a different gender for said dragon than we knew from the earlier encounters.
Within the game universe that could have been the end of things: Dragon with a supposedly male name that uses a female - excuse me again body type 2 - body for the dragonâs interactions with mere mortals.
But obviously that wasnât enough. People couldnât leave it at that. Our real world perceptions (and problems) had to be addressed/involved and thus we got that story that tried to explain things but ultimately left things just as vague as before when just considered on its own.
Last but not least the âwriter in chargeâ stated on his personal twitter account that the NPC in question uses particular pronouns in either of the two known appearances now ⌠which would be fine if that had been stated in a truly official capacity and was backed by the game itself completely. Now the âofficialâ part is a general problem that Blizzard (and many other studios) faces because they chose the multi-platform / multi-media distribution model and Iâm ready to somewhat ignore it. However, Iâll ask this: Are there any instances in the game where Chronormu is referred to with male pronouns either by Chronormu or anyone else? If so, our âwriter in chargeâ has his work still cut out for himself ⌠and even then the human concept of âtransâ or âcisâ [with whatever caveats one could add there] doesnât really apply because of the non-human (and fictional) nature of the entity in question.
Yeah the original question was for the Transphobic diaper gnome was just pointing out that literally quoting Danuserâs words appears to have worked

I, too, am non-human (and fictional).

The character âShredsâ indeed is non-human and fictional. What about the person behind that character who IIRC states to be a member of LGBTQ+ in âreal lifeâ and at times seems to project this on his personal fiction for the character âShredsâ?
And how does this fallacious question of yours that merely expresses a triviality actually deal with my comment in general or the quote you made?
Minor details.

The best part about that story for me was the Onyxia part. The others didnât seem to convey their flight well.
The whole part about mortal races being relentless. Immortal races having to find acceptance in a world or seek domination. Very fundamental stuff there

I actually have not read the story. Chromie is trans as far as I know/care and it isnât like it makes an actual difference to me either way. They have quests, I do quests. I move along with my life. What Chromie gets up to before and/or afterwards is no concern of mine. Same for Shaw and Anduin and Turalyon and anyone else.
Also you do not know who I have and/or what I do with them. I can assure you no partner of mine is going to be trying to give the public an object lesson is the Kama Sutra.
I do not like TRIPE âItâs a food delicacy apparently consisting of a cows stomachâ. Does that mean I hate people that eat it? Nope. Do I avoid the places that serve it? Nope. There are OTHER ITEMS on the menu for me to enjoy. Does that make me Tripephobic?
You have found a dish that you like. CONGRATULATIONS! As a human being I am proud of you for liking something I do not like the dish you eat. So please keep it off my plate
Your reading comprehension skills are terrible. Itâs truly astounding how many times people can link something and you still donât understand

Would go into more detail but itâs like 1:30 am and Iâm too tired to talk about the philosophical significance of that quote when it comes to bigotry 
âŚAussies just started this in 2014. I didnât know Tripe originated there. Oh well. The more you know.
No. It further proves you are burying your head in the sand and looking foolish. When the lead writer in charge of all canon lore tells you the following
Afterwards, she/her in both mortal and dragon forms.
you listen and understand. You do not continue to act obtuse and ignorant towards what it said.
And if you wish for your story quote, the very end shows you how her pronouns have changed, as she spent all night celebrating, went to bed and woke up, all using âshe.â
Which again goes back to what the lead writer in charge of canon lore WHO WROTE THE STORY said in response to the blatant question asking if she was trans.
Afterwards, she/her in both mortal and dragon forms.

What I find interesting is that Chromie has always been she/her in this game since Vanilla, but now they (the people in this thread adamantly denying her preferred gender) purposely use pronouns she has never used in game.

Well I guess this situation isnât literally âtransâ in the way some may see it and I donât think it will ever see it in this setting as we see it now or even in science fiction.
Unless of course the blood elves start researching more into their dark animus and the applications of flesh shaping.

Steve Danauser wrote the âVisage Dayâ story.
Steve Danauser wrote the tweet that people keep quoting at you.
Steve Danauser, lead story developer for World of Warcraft at Blizzard Entertainment, is telling you, directly, that Chromie was originally a male dragon but after Visage Day identified as she/her in both her Visage and draconic forms.
You can decide to ignore any implications of that, but the fact is that Danauser is professionally paid to say what Chromieâs deal is, and he has said that Chromie identifies as female both when sheâs bopping around as a Gnome and when sheâs a dragon. End of story. There is no higher authority that can be appealed to than the person who literally created the story.
