Tarn said trans rights

didn't he get yelled at on twitter for saying something about trans dwarves a year or two ago?

...sorry, what?

Last year on twitter apparently someone asked him about trans dwarves and he said he'd thought about it and a whole bunch of people started harassing him about it and saying they weren't gonna play it any more or something. It looks like most of the people involved in that have been suspended from twitter now though.

Where was this?

This is part and parcel of the "Just 5 minutes ago I attacked me!" bug. When non-historical entities do things, their pronouns default to "I" and "me". Even after they become historical entities (usually simply by looking at them) the pronouns persist for the rumour. Here, you are talking to a non-historical entity and they don't have a name yet. If you look at them, they will have a name. I forget the scenarios where they can talk to you before they become historical entities, but there are a few.

Kindly consider learning how to take a screenshot. Instructions at: https://www.take-a-screenshot.org/
Also, pressing F12 (by default) in Steam produces a screenshot.
You may also consider free products like Greenshot that are specifically designed for easy cropping and sharing.
Additionally, there are many free screen recording products: https://learn.g2crowd.com/free-screen-recorder-software

If you're on Windows 10, you can press Windows key + Shift + S, and a little menu appears at the top of the screen allowing you to choose between a full screen screenshot, screenshot specific windows, or drag a rectangle to screenshot a section of the screen. Super useful.

That's a lot nicer than my having to try Shift+Print Scrn, Alt+Print Scrn, and then Ctrl+Print Scrn in succession to figure out which one is correct.

It's just print screen, one button, helpfully labeled

I appreciate you telling them nicely and giving them actual useful advice other than just flying into a rage and cursing their mother because they took a phone picture lol.

Wait, I can still do that uhhhhhhhhhhh
Urist Mc5crownik007 spits!
The flying spit misses you!
Urist Mc5crownik007: Hello. You are a killer.

I’ve been have trouble finding where the pictures go when I do that. I know how to do it however.

I feel represented.

Hello, I am ERROR!

Heeeeey fellow dwarves!

I thought that said "trains name" and I nearly panicked. I've been suspicious of trains ever since I watched Play Safe (1936) as a kid. If you don't know what that is, look it up. It was terrifying to me when I was 8.

proud of them <3

In case anyone is wondering, it's probably short for "translated name"

can we see the whole thing? I swear this had been fixed a while back

Well, I'm proud of her!

They could also be male. Not all trans people are trans women.
8
and if you're ever unsure about someone's gender, you can always just use 'they/them'!
11
I'm literally trans, just making a joke, yeesh!
-3†
They're not attacking you, just pointing out that you excluded trans males
7
but individuals are single, not multiple. "It" is the closest english language has.
-10
'They' can be used for both plural and singular
9
This is utter nonsense. For the record, singular "they" has been a part of the English language for longer than singular "you".

pressing
Windows key + shift + s
can take a very quick and easy cropped screenshot so you don't have to pull out your phone :)

THere's also the Snipping Tool which is on every Windows machine (pretty sure)

Shipping tool is getting phased out 😔

Y'know just knowing there was thought put in for trans dwarves and Tarn made damn well sure they could exist on game is kinda mountains more in the way of support and visibility than most big developers and their shallow gestures to the LGBTQ+ community.
-1†
There isn't, though, genders are pretty hardcoded actually.
3
Just so you know, this is probably not short of transgender name, but translated name. Eg. instead of reading Urist McDagger, it would read Urist McUrist, or vice-versa.
There is technical readiness for transgender in DF, IIRC, but it is not used anywhere and the two values (body sex and soul gender) are considered equal and should not differ unless bugged / modded.

looks around
Yeah, I'm gonna have to remove your post OP, what's with rules 1, 2, 3, 4 all being widely broken on this page.
I appreciate the ones who did actually try to discuss Dwarf Fortress - alas, it's just too little to justify leaving it up.

There is 1 imposter among us
