To be fair that would allow players to torture transgender dwarves, which would be pretty neat. Atom-smashing them sounds like fun, not to mention Eugenically breeding the gay out of your dwarves.
But yeah, Toady started blocking people who disagreed, sad.
Eh, it is more profitable and logical to have any "non-conforming" dwarves go pull a lonely lever, so in some ways, it is a tragic microcosm of society.
The casual DF players won't know how to check their dwarves' "sexual identity" or whatever.
The serious DF players will chuck all homo-dwarves or trans-dwarves into the lava, because you need normal male and female dwarves to reproduce, and since the fortress MUST grow, we're always in need of more warm bodies.
Sir! Dwarf fortress has Z levels, and Rimworld does not. It is but a distant reflection of the glory of Dwarf Fortress.
In space.
Yeah, but DF has Kinseian Sexual and gender axies, and thus has terminal cancer.
Compare to Tynan not giving a fuck when some dangerhair tried to make him change one of the backer backstories.
Edit: The cancer in Toady's own words

The issue isn't the game play, it's the fact that toady is a leftist and has been since he started dating his current wife.
I agree. Honestly, who the fuck is this even for?
The casuals don't play DF.

It's absurd pandering.
Muh "politeness" and "tolerance", the excuses of the conformist craven.
I wouldn't call it similar to DF at all.
DF heavily plays on the Z axis while Rimworld ignores it.
Might as well call it "Chinese Cultivation Simulator."
I think that title has already been taken.
That is what I'm referencing, yes.
Technically correct, the best kind of correct.
Rimworld wants to be Dwarf Fortress, but has graphics and falls... flat.
