For me personally my biggest grievence with this thread is how many people were upset at me wanting to add "they/them" at the end of my cmdr name and went through so many lengths to try justify being upset. Its no longer any surprise to why some nonbinary people are fearful about being open about their identity. Its genuinely wild to me that the eventual length was "they're apart of a conspiracy to ruin gamers!" And list something I don't even know.
I think you are taking things the wrong way if you feel personally attacked.
You are currently non-binary, good for you. In general you will find as you go through life, that people don't care.
It's when you make the executive decision that being non-binary entitles you to special treatment, or that everyone else must take special measures for you, that you will get people's backs up.
You follow a specific doctrine, and that's fine. That doctrine is contentious and does not sit well with some. (especially feminists and tomboys) I believe you are aware of that.
The issue people take is not that you as a person have made the choice to class yourself as non-binary and have apparently made this central to your identity, with the acceptance of the validity of this choice being linked in your mind to the validity of you as a person. (this is not correct - but sadly all too common, damaging, and sadly encouraged by many communities)
By including the tags and symbols relating to non-binary gender representation the game is taking a stance on it, and through subtle means actively promoting it.
I will take umbridge with any 21st century political issue manifesting itself into the game - as do others.
That is the issue... Not you, not your identity.
I don't care if its pronouns, pride flags, swastikas, political parties, etc. It does not belong in the game, and it's a slippery slope.
Again.. No one is attacking you. Just your idea. There is a difference and it is important you realise that and don't come away from this thread feeling like some kind of oppressed victim - be strong
Be happy
The radiation in space made us all sterile anyway, so there is no gender already - that's why we are called CMDRS
