I want to punch the haters so hard right now that i played up till Nexus.

I haven't played DA:I but friends who have have told me that Krem is an okay character, but Raging Bull's reaction to said character breaks some quanari lore, which is not okay, not even for social justice brownie points, and therein lies the problem.

I agree. DA2 with all its rushed production, was an instant love for me and I replayed more even more than DAO.  

Aaannnddd there it is, finally. The big kicker in the Saul Alinsky playbook. The "Your are literally Hitler" ad hominem. My sides have reached escape velocity.
Again. blah blah blah u iz nazi. Okay I get it.
I have OCD and take no offense when someones tells me that I have a mental illness, because that is fact. Why would that offend me? It isn't derogative in any way, but an apt description of my condition. I'm also not thin-skinned or easily offended, but I digress.
So what exactly separates gender identity disorder from say schizophrenia or dissociative identity disorder? How is that distinction made? Why is the distinction made?
Okay? Are we getting the the regressive left's favorite tactic of Hitler false equivalencies?
It pretty obvious in presentation that BioWare demands the player be sympathetic. Forcing a viewpoint on the player... definitely a far cry from the choices the ME is renound for... You can let Drack throw a man to his death, but God forbids you from being able to tell Hanely to can it.

Plus, DA2 has my favorite BioWare antagonist. Say what you will about the game, but the Arishok is probably the most fun baddie I've interacted with in either Mass Effect or Dragon Age. I love his dialogue if you earn his respect.

Well, no. Krem is a man, biologically, physically, and genetically. One does not simply feel like a man. Feeling are irrelevant to facts.

That would definitely screw with the lore.

This is basically a retcon in order to gain PC brownie points.
Hits me with an array of ad hominem attacks whilst still insisting that words cause all sorts horrific things to happen. Sticks and stones, bro.

Equating scepticism with supremacist groups is fallacy of association. Islam is often associated with terrorism, but does that make all muslims terrorists? No, of course not! Such a statement would be fallacious. You mention laws, so provide examples. The burden of proof is on you.

Sorry, but I'm not going to throw basic biology out the window in order to validate a tiny subset of people's feelings. Nor do I care what names you want to call me if that offends you. 

Facts do not care about feelings.

Also, I bolded the key question. Answer it, if you even can.

If suddenly biology no longer applies then sure, and if we are going down the manhole of feelings, then I identify as a trans-racial-sudo-demiboy-celestial-body-inhabiting-the-organic-form-of-a-tapeworm-with-2 headmates-godlike-being. You can learn more at my Tumblr blog and educate yourself.

Check you privilege, sir.

Nobody's talking about feelings. The gender expressed in the brain is a fact, just as the external genitalia and the chromosomes are facts, and just as immutable. When these facts don't all agree, we pick whichever fact is most useful to use as the governing fact. For most purposes that's brain gender, not the genitalia and certainly not the chromosomes. After all, unless someone's a potential reproductive partner you don't need to know anything about chromosomes, and unless they're a potential romantic partner you don't need to know anything about genitalia.



And there's no retcon because the continuity was never established. When you review Sten's Origins conversation, it turns out that it was very carefully constructed; we are allowed to project garden-variety patriarchy onto Sten's words without learning anything much about the actual functioning of Qunari society. Note that Sten is actually quite open to the possibility of a female Warden not being a "woman."

When the body and brain dissociate on the physical aspects of the body, that is called a mental disorder. Dissociative Identity Disorder, colloquially known as multiple personalities, is essentially the same thing. The difference is one is normalized and the other is treated.

And there is actual research coming out that show men and women's brains are vastly different and is once again making the case against the seperation of gender and sex. The 2 are closely linked after all.
