Honestly you seem to have to contrary views. You say "What difference does this distinction for text that is displayed only once in a 80+ hour game make" its not. "Do you need a continual reminder that you are a Male character to feel right with yourself?" Type one and two signify a gender its why in-game you are refereed to as he or her. So they obviously have a biologically distinctive narrative. "I suppose this gender affirmation of how you identify is quite important, almost critical, but you have to consider the alternative point of view" Everything from this point is referencing a minute percentage of the population. If the vast majority of people see themselves as either male or female then you're catering to a small subset of the population. Previously you said it was a translation thing. So why not use universal symbolism? I.E or as it wouldn't need translating at all, just as other games do to signify male or female? Because that's not the issue. Its not a translation issue and you most certainly know that. You come across far too intelligent to think that's the case. But it cant be so crude as you said "a pair of tits" either. Body type isn't even acknowledged. Can you make a more portly toon? Perhaps a short non Bosmer? Yet if its "alternative point of view" or "cultural connotations" There should be type 3-4 or even 5 to at the very least allow for more freedom of play and self expression in a game where playing a role in its very definition of genre.
Bottom line, we're talking about a mod. A mod that would only be utilized by those who would feel more comfortable selecting original options. It doesn't change the game for anyone except for those who download and deploy it. I can understand making them not use specific dialogue to prevent it as coming across offensive or trolling. But something like "Type replacer" or "Classic Character select" Shouldn't be ban or unsupported. Again, I fully supported starfield for having the option of pronouns if you chose to select them. This is the same hill.. Im all for a mod that allows for people to choose a gender option over a type if it makes them feel more comfortable.
