As far as fantasy would handle mental illness, at least this one makes sense. She is not really transgendered, she changed genders and is now normal. Having actual transgenders in the game would be retarded.
I honestly would not care if it was a new character but doing it to an established character is what annoys the crap out of me. It's a forced change to pander.
If it weren't for rl trannies going "SHE'S JUST LIKE ME", I would have no issue with completely magical world characters being like "hey, if I use my magic to look like a girl, I'll be able to slip into places easier, abuse psychological blindspots". Creative utilization of magic systems for problem solving is cool, but not when "shaving, drugging myself up, doing a Darwin to my reproductive parts, and yelling online = magic"
Honestly, between blk grrrl mgic and this shit, magic gets a terrible rap nowadays.
So this trans character is a dragon... who is capable of changing its gender at will and on a whim... and this is transgender representation?
