Only *2* gender choices - Bigotry in action?

It is frankly amazing that in this, the year of our lord 2012, there are only 2 gender choices in EVE online. It would be ideal if there were separate sliding scales for both sex and gender, but given the horrific state of intolerance this game's character creator currently wallows in, I would settle for 2 sex choices and a sliding scale for gender. It would also be nice if NPC's would ask you which gendered pronouns you would like used (when you receive missions and such), or least refer to you as he/she/zhe/zhir/hir/hyr/etc depending on the position you chose on the gender scale.

Thoughts?

Interesting twist lumping jesus in with transgenders.

Also the proper term is 'gtst '

I also think they should add trannys to the game.

I was using post-modern humor to advance cultural sensitivity while at the same time, laying down some sick burns on faith-havers.

No sliders.

Surgery mode or Atypical Chromosomal Development mode.

Neither method should be particularly precise.

Both should also have the potential to leave the end-viewer wondering, "WTF?"

I'd support this.

I believe I may have slight dyslexia. Coincidentally, post-mordem(mortem) changes your entire statement comically.

So 'post-modern' is hipster for 'unfunny'. Awesome, learned something new today.

I want a choice to be a cyborg with no gender. Screw your "gender slider".

Hermaphrodite settings? It would just be an excuse to tell someone to go **** themselves.

What kind of sick, twisted social democratic "liberalism" bullcrap is this?

You have taken your roleplaying a bit too far here, Gallentean.

How can you have a slider for a social construct?

Bedtime stories begin with; "One Upon a Time"

Ev-O forum stories begin with; "You Ain't Gonna Believe this Sh**"


Which one does this thread fall under?

Exactly why I said no to a slider at all.

This should not be precise at all, or it wouldn't be a good sim.

No seriously.

They also misspell Womyn as Women. I, for one, am outraged.

I thought LCO was a hairy male character in a dress and lipstick....

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
