She was married, she must be straight, well I was married to a woman, so I must have been strictly male, **** that didn't work out too well.

 

It's not just that she was married, in Mae's fade sequence in the comic she was with her late husband and also catered to by half naked men

That's not the only reason why I consider her likely straight; During a panel in the Fade, she and her husband was tended to by servants who were clearly male. This was something that seemed to be based on what appealed to her and what she desired the most and this dream only featured men.

I Think LightningPoodle is referring to the Fade dream in the comic, where she's surrounded by male servants.
It's not a confirmation of her being straight, but iT might be a hint of the sexual orientation the writer envisioned for her.

What? You were married to a woman, which means you were attracted to women. Doesn't matter what sex you were. You were attracted to women. The same would go for Mae. She is attracted to males. Doesn't matter what sex she is. She is attracted to males (as far as we know anyway.)

 

...In all honesty, your post has confused me. Not the you being married. Just, the post in general.

According to Bioware, Serendipity wasn't a transgendered character, but rather just in drag. They still failed miserably in DA2, but still. That's their official stance.

Didnt know it, thanks.

Her importance to trans people, trans women especially is a bigger issue, in my opinion, than what they have shown of her sexuality. I'm sorry but if she is brought in as straight and romancable, I will be highly offended by it.

Edit: if she isn't romancable I wouldn't have a problem with her being straight. However I would be disappointed that she isn't romancable which starts the whole loop over again.

Dat Hale voice lol :P

Every time Krem speaks I remember femShep or another char Hale voiced.
In fact the first time Krem spoke I thought "why Hale is voicing a woman with male model?", Hale have a powerful voice.

Then the only solution would be to not make her a romance option and make a new character

Her voice became too recognizable, just like Steve Blum lol

What would you think if instead of Mae, they introduced another trans woman Who is interested in both men and women as a LI?

You sure? Most of the poly people I've met would be kind of upset at someone conflating their life choices with garden-variety cheating.

Edit: I'm just sticking up for proper terminology here. "Polyamory" requires the knowledge and consent of everyone involved; it's not just nonmonogamy.

 

"Monogamy = Romantically and sexually interested in one person." That's the definition I said was agreeing on as being essentially monogamy. So yes, I'm quite sure that I mean that definition.

 

I don't know what you are going on about with polyamory. My understanding is that it means youare romantically and sexually interested in more than one person, i.e. non-monogamy.

 

 Whatever gets done, it's going to offend someone.

 

Eh, I think some people are capable of creating pretty universal characters.. Elsa from Frozen as a recent example comes to mind....

Um yes? "Monogamy = Romantically and sexually interested in one person." That's the definition I said was agreeing on as being essentially monogamy.

 

Don't know what you are going on about.

I would consider it more of "Monogamy = Romantically interested in one person and only having a relationship with that person." since people can still be unintentionally sexually interested in others and others do not have the sexual aspect in their relationship but are still monogamous.

Er I don't think so, if someone is interested sexually in others, that's not monogamy. Monogamy is the one to one thing, romantically and sexually interested in one person.

 

Maybe it's because I pretty much equate romantic and sexual interest? They are one and the same for me.

Oh really? Give it a shot.. it's got the Disney songs and stuff, very lame, but otherwise pretty interesting.

I would have to wait and see but my first impression is they already have a trans women that is liked by many, which isn't easy to do, apparently. So I would prefer a character that is already known and liked, I didn't think that so many would be offended by the notion of making her bi.

That's not the literal definition of monogamy. You can be fully content in marriage and sexual relations with only one person, but that doesn't necessarily mean you wouldn't find someone else sexually attractive. You just wouldn't act on that attraction.

It does some interesting things with it such as actually making Elsa a queen. The story has some interesting spins including on the "true love" theme which I genuinely were happy about though I still consider the movie lacking in some areas.

I don't think anyone is/would be offended by her being bi. I surely won't be.
Their point is that they might've already decided that she's straight, so they might not change it.
Granted, we don't know if she's surely straight, or What Bioware would do.

For many trans women it would be extremely difficult to play male to be able to romance her. We spend our entire life trying to escape from what we felt growing up, so playing male now is the last thing I would ever do. It's just something to think about when making a character, if the character is representing someone, make sure they are accessible to that group. Normally you can say play the opposite gender to romance them but for some of us it isn't that simple.

That makes no sense when it comes to sexuality. For example a straight woman is not going to be accessible to a straight woman by definition of them being straight, despite them representing that group. Same for a straight man not having access to a straight man since the character is a straight man. By representing that orientation, they become unavailable to the people they are representing.

Well I'm curious though before addressing your point I'm inclined to ask, why not? (If you were a person in that situation)

I'm saying for the sake of trans women don't make her straight.

This basically, it's not the same thing as many Disney movies.

What about for the sake of straight transwomen? Shouldn't they have a character that represents them?
