Old School Runescape forces you to change your character into a girl to complete a quest. You can easily change back afterwards, but I never did for some reason.

they actually changed that back in 2022. previously, you had to fight a knight blessed by the gods so that no man could harm him, so you would have to change your character to a woman in order to harm him. however they changed it so now no blade can harm him, and the player is given four different weapons, where one of them is a warhammer, allowing him to be defeated (since it doesn't have a blade)

It implies being transgender is a choice though

In a world of magic i don’t really see how it does.

I am a cis male who likes his pronouns but i recognize myself much more fluid then most. Theres a type of frilly dress and shoes I really like that i think would look really good if i grew out my beard.

My point is if i could take such a potion to chose biological gender features i probably by in bulk to spend the odd day relaxing at a wellness looking pretty while doing it.

I never encountered this quest but i could see it act as a subtle nudge for people to discover that there identity isnt so black and white as our sex makes it seem.

I fully agree with this sentiment as a trans person. I could very much see this quest ‘cracking someone’s egg’ (i.e. realising they’re trans).

I have a friend that’s a cis man who has a gorgeous beard and likes to be fluid with his presentation as well. He loves wearing cute dresses and mary jane’s, and always has rlly pretty nails.

You should absolutely rock that look. I’m really here for people wearing whatever makes them the most happy, the concept of gendering clothes is just dumb.

If you want certain features, you do have options to get them. You can take estrogen and not do hair removal for example.

I am not comfortable with permanent and longer lasting changes, especially if they can effect my fertility.

The dream is to look the way i feel life for a particular day but keep my current form. Of which i am quite happy for 95% of the time.

Daang, I didn't know they changed it. It makes sense that they would, but I'm still a little sad about it.
