No one is telling anyone to go back in the closet. But as others have said, and I shall quote one…
This game does not have social genders. Not even the Kyrian have customization for social genders. The choices are biological race and biological gender. You may identify as you wish and name as you wish. You may ask friends to call you what you wish. But random pixels on a screen in random groups are all equal and all anonymous. The beauty of a rare place you can be equal.
These threads upset quite a few of the LGBTQ+ community for their vile and rash behavior, while attempting to speak for everyone when they clearly do not.
You are a biological individual behind pixels. That is all.
