Gender and sexuality diversity in RPG settings

[big post snipped]

Not sure how much this was pointed at me, but my first post in this thread was specifically about trans erasure worries and ensuring that characters who choose not to medically transition are still accepted in Talakeal's setting.

Sorry if I came across as being dismissive of representative media; it's mostly just that, given how much trans issues have become a part of my life, it really irks me when it's done badly (which isn't to say it doesn't irk you more, I just know the extent to which it does me). I've read one too many stories where the writer says, to use your example, "the trans woman and the cis woman went to the store" when neither character really has anything to do with anything.
