First point, no Bruce, 'biological woman' is not a technical term, it is a worthless one. Just don't use it, its only purpose is to be transphobic. The terms cis woman, cis man, trans woman or trans man are more useful, give more information. If you continue to use 'biological male' or 'biological female' or any term like it, you're choosing to be transphobic and/or unclear. And no, the exceptions demonstrate that the ability to give birth is absolutely not the physiological difference between men and women. TL;DR just stop calling people 'biological men' or 'biological women', it's a worthless term that serves only to play into the hands of hateful bigots. I think at almost every level, we don't need to care about someone's testosterone levels. The overwhelming majority of trans athletes are not trying to steal gold medals from cis athletes at the Olympics or whatever the narrative is, they're just trying to play social sportsball at the lowest community level. I've played a lot of team sport at that kind of low level, and not once have I thought the competition would be improved by having me or my fellow athletes tested to see if they're juicing. The top end professional level is frequently used as the justification for treating trans people like trash, but the implementation seems to be aimed at all levels. I think it's reasonable, specifically at those top levels of competition, for trans women to have done a certain amount of HRT before competing (as is almost always the case) but I don't have much interest in applying this to athletes with various intersex conditions, any more than I think we should penalise taller athletes for being taller, etc.

It is a technical term. In both senses: it is, for example, used as the basis of the IAAF transgender policy and biological sex is also a recognised scientific concept. Often the people using it pejoratively actually mean 'genetic sex' instead, but biological sex is a technical term. The problem comes about because there's a whole lot of non biological stuff associated with being a person which we don't apply to other creatures. Nobody cares if you describe an albino mouse as a 'mutant', a lot of people care if you describe a human albino as a mutant- but there's no scientific difference, and the term remains a real technical term. The difference is entirely that people see being called a 'mutant' as dehumanising when it's applied to a human. Which is fair enough, and if you wander around randomly calling albinos 'mutants' you're probably a bit of a knob outside of the scientific context. But it doesn't mean the term 'mutant' is not a technical term either.

I'll vouch for that

I'm a very manly man, does that count for anything? It has led to some funny situations and friendly jibes in my closest friend circle (which are mostly people in LGBT circles). From transgender over bisexual to my militant lesbian dentist friend (who already had a stockpile of face masks in 2020, because she had planned to fight the police in the streets, joining the fight against the then Morrison government). Said friends have regularly dragged me to places and events most people miss out on (their loss). Like queer gamer groups (the place where I truly learned to appreciate Cards against Humanity type games), theater plays where Juliette drops Romeo and runs away with her girlfriend, you name it. At some point, they wanted me to try a phone app that morphs you into either more feminine or more masculine features. The feminine appearance was sort of Okish (i'll never feature as a centerfold, that's for sure), but when trying the masculine morphs, they thought the app had broken (apparently my appearance could not be changed into something more masculine by the app, so it simply did nothing) Needless to say, I wouldn't swap those friends for anything in the world really. As for the subject of transgender sports and the fairness/unfairness of it?.... I've often thought about it and probably still am, without getting any closer to making my mind up what I could see as the best approach edit: they once teased me in the theatre, asking me if I didn't feel like the odd one out? Me, looking at the three girls just stated the obvious, because I'm the only guy here? To which the reply from the girls was I was the only straight person in the theatre

hello @Elric Galad, I'm a longtime fan of the mod. Big fan of the changes and balancing you've done. Just had a question about which class between druid and priest (single class) you feel is more powerful and engaging after all your changes, or even which is more fun in your opinion? Particularly In terms of the druid summons I'm curious how strong the later level ones (fire stag, aspect of galawain) are with your changes and how they compare with other high level summons. If anyone else who has played with them using the balance patch wants to chime in with their opinion I would appreciate it too.

Sorry to revive such an old topic but this still shows up as a top result when searching for if you can get Willbreaker without killing the slavers. Tested currently on v. 5.0.0.0040, you can actually have begun the quests A Shrewd Preposition and Tip of the Spear, sneak into the basement, slaughter the guards, grab Willbreaker, and still be friendly with the rest of Crookspear. It would seem Crookspear only gets hostile when you release the slaves, which leads to the mini cutscene of the guards sounding the horns.
