    I had to look up scawy - how scawy is that. I think pronouns are best left as unchanged as ever, but I’m glad that women and gays are more appreciated and more visible now. Being gay myself, I know that the really scawy things, the things that really keep people’s brains small and restricted, are ignorance and bias. Those are shackles you can’t outgrow or outrun.

      I’m glad for the ability to change pronouns, I know a lot of trans and non-binary people who really appreciate the inclusion, and it doesn’t impact the game in any negative ways. I think people can outgrow ignorance and bias, but it takes a significant amount of work and a willingness to change. Unfortunately, not many people see any reason to challenge their bias and bigotry so it rarely happens.
