People who object to trans people being in fantasy are wild. As though some silly-hatted alchemist wouldn’t simply invent Almazar’s Gender Fluid in an afternoon and distribute it to every dungeon chest in the land. It’s Common on the loot table and half the goblins drop it. You can brew it yourself with three mushrooms and eight snail shells. It sells for 1 copper at the merchant because the supply is so abundant. You fool. You melon. You absolute buffoon. The limits of what you are willing to imagine are an epitaph you wrote for your own freedom.
“but it’s unlikely that trans people would be as accepted as they are today!1!” it’s equally unlikely, actually it’s more unlikely, that trans people would be misunderstood in the exact same way they are in modern western culture. if you’re putting swears like “holy mother of wrathgar” or whatever, i want that transphobia to be creative none of that “against how god made you” mindset. i want that transphobia to be “beware those fae tricksters who change themselves from man to woman for it shows proficiency at magic greater than can be trusted.” i want that transphobia to be “but what if there are side effects of taking Gender Fluid for too long i’m pretty sure it turns you into a werewolf” i want that transphobia to be like “if the balance of men and women is thrown off the gods will become angry. you’re allowed to transition but first you have to find a partner of the opposite assigned gender to transition with and if you can’t then you gotta go on a dangerous quest” like this is fantasy there are talking dragons go the full monty
