I would think the reason one chooses to become "transgender" is to change their gender to that of the opposite of their current gender.... right? I mean, guys who are into this kinda thing don't really dream about one day becoming a 7 foot tall he woman with hairy legs. Then again, I wouldn't know. Some people just have their thing. Whatever man.

To the people who "enjoy Krem" - does him being transgendered even matter?  Is that a reason you enjoyed the character?  Seems like a poor character if that's a reason to like him.

 

I think playing transgendered "might" be solely for those people looking to be play something a little different (the "why" of that being entirely their thing). 

 

I would imagine (though am admittedly completely ignorant on the topic) that a transgendered person might want to play the gender they identify with because that role was social and biologically denied to them in real life.

As oppressed as gay people have been, they always knew what they were.

But only now, after thousands of years does this group decide they're non-gendered or what you'll have it?

I don't have a lot of time to make a long post about this and this is a bit of a derail anyways, but the simple answer is: This is not true. Modern Western society may have only recently developed terms for individuals with a non-binary gender, but similar concepts have existed in various cultures throughout the world for thousands of years (Two Spirit among some Native American tribes and the hijra in South Asia, for example). That most Westerners haven't heard of them is largely a reflection of our very Eurocentric, ciscentric view of the world and history.

 

Here's a Wikipedia page with a brief historical overview, if you're interested: https://en.wikipedia..._gender#History

 

Do note that other cultures' terms for non-binary gender people don't necessarily map exactly to Western terms. Some hijra identify as male or female while others identify as third gender, for example.

 

Additionally, you also have intersex people whose sex cannot be easily categorized as "male" or "female". This, of course, only refers to their sex and their gender can be male, female, or non-binary, just like anyone else.

speaking for myself, at first, krem was almost like any other npc to me.  however, the more i talked to him (before his big reveal), the more he grew on me as a character.  i liked his stories about the chargers and his relationship with krem the most - the teasing between them always brings a smile to my face.  i liked him even more when i found out that jennifer hale voiced him.  for me, him being transgender has no bearing on his likability.
