Player Features and Ideas Discussion

In eve I can only chose between 2 genders.
But as we all know there are 32 genders

I would like to create a transgendered character.

I've seen some of the characters players have created. I think they're already succeeding in this department without the need for another +30 gender classifications...

Not true, New York city as an example officially recognizes 31, welcome to the brave new world.

I think there is more than enough flexibility in the character creator to handle the basic aspects of this, perhaps a reasonably easy first step would be to simply allow access to all of the clothing items no matter which binary gender you choose for your character.

Is this so you can accurately represent your inner turmoil, or so you can create something even more monstrous in the character creator?

No dude, there are two genders. X and Y Chromosomes.

Don't politicize my Eve with your mindless drivel.

Actually, what you have is some confusion because people just toss the word gender around without bothering to define which one they're talking about.

You have your genetic gender - this is assigned by your DNA. Sorry, this never changes - like 1+1 = 2, it is what it is.
You have your physical gener - which is the equipment you possess - this can be changed, but it requires surgery and hormone therapy, etc. I'm not entirely sure how fluid that is - I don't think you can change it back, but hey, I'm not a doctor.
Lastly, you have your gender identity - the gender you feel like. This can be as fluid as a river, and can change as you feel.

For the purposes of our Eve avatars, the only one that matters, since they're images, is the physical gender - the gender you look like. The only one I could see them adding, tbh, is an androgynous setting, which makes the physical aspects less apparent. That said, I've seen some pretty good approximations of this with the current setting.



If you get mayo before I get bacon, we're going to have words.

Only if it's not the monstrosity that Americans call bacon, that is a crime against meat.

One of these is bacon, the other is a burnt offering.

jove messed with altering DNA


it didn't go well

Hello, I am the one you call nobody 😁.

On the topic: I don't think it would benefit the game in any way. If you are trans* just create a char with the gender you identify yourself as and if you want to let people know, just add some info into your bio. Adding options that allow the character creation with attributes of both genders will only benefit the people who have a fetish for transgendered and supporting that kind of image does us as much of a favor as shemale porn. None at all.
